On paper, a decent performance. But the eyes tell a different story. Many fans lambasted Tyreek for his performances that day, and it looks like they weren’t alone. </p> <div id="HJsS80"> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr"> Tyreek Hill reveals he was called out by Mike McDaniel following his performance vs. Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs: "He called me out, he was like: 'You're supposed to be the best player in the league... we pay you all this money for what?'."

McDaniel is not one to mince words, is he? </p> <p id="Mi1nP0">Straight from the horse’s mouth, Tyreek’s performance simply wasn’t good enough that day. Hill is currently getting paid $30 million a year, and 5 catches off 8 targets in a playoff game simply isn’t good enough. In fact, none of Miami’s players were up for that game. Miami’s offense had a historically great regular season, and only managed 7 points in the biggest game of the season. </p> <p id="V8LcBG">It was cold, sure. But guess what? It’s cold for both teams!</p> <p id="71s1hv">Anyways, that loss is way behind me. I definitely won’t think about it everyday for the next 5 months, definitely not. </p></div>
