Ex-Chiefs’ Tyreek Hill Sends Rashee Rice Message Amid Week 7 Win Over Raiders
With star wide receiver Rashee Rice back on the field for the first time in over a year, the Kansas City Chiefs routed the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7, and the display of force caught the attention of former superstar WR Tyreek Hill.
“Also Rashee Rice is so dangerous !!” Hill posted on X during the KC victory. Adding: “Chiefs back rolling love to see it.”
Also Rashee Rice is so dangerous !! Chiefs back rolling love to see it
Hill is currently out for the season after suffering a dislocated left knee and multiple torn ligaments, including his ACL, so he was watching Week 7 from the sidelines.
Earlier in the afternoon on October 19, Hill posted about his current team, the Miami Dolphins. It was a rough day for the Dolphins, as they were blown out by the Cleveland Browns, 31-6.
“Watching your team play through a TV is hard,” Hill wrote about Miami. Later, he commented: “Let’s go fins let’s turn this thing around in the second half.”
Finally, he turned his attention to Rice and the Chiefs with the above post.
Rashee Rice Has Taken Over for Tyreek Hill as Patrick Mahomes & the Chiefs’ New WR1
Rice had a very successful return, catching 7 of 10 targets for 42 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns. Considering Kansas City pulled their starters and ran out the clock towards the tail end of the shutout, Rice could have probably produced a few more receptions, too, had the score been closer.
In 2024, Rice appeared to be taking the torch from tight end Travis Kelce as the most important playmaker within the KC offense before his injury. That mantle was once held by Hill, as well, so there is a symbolic connection between Rice and the former Chiefs superstar.
Both know what it’s like to reach the top of the mountain with Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City, as one-time Super Bowl champions, each. The only difference is Rice’s Chiefs era is just beginning, while Hill seems to be reminiscing on old times.
Will Tyreek Hill & the Chiefs Discuss a 2026 Reunion, Assuming He’s Released by the Dolphins?
As the Dolphins struggled out of the gates in 2025, many pondered a Hill trade to KC. But realistically, the financial numbers just wouldn’t have worked.
That impediment could change in 2026, let’s say the Dolphins release Hill, as many believe they will.
By designating Hill as a post-June 1 cut in 2026, the front office could save $36 million in cap space. And for an organization that could be rebuilding around a new head coach and general manager next year, that type of financial flexibility could prove very helpful.
Although it’s unclear if Hill would be ready for Week 1, he could sign wherever he wants if he’s released by Miami. He could also sign for a relatively cheap amount if his number one priority is winning, being that the Dolphins are still paying him a lot of money.
That sets up the Chiefs as an obvious potential landing spot, so long as there’s no hard feelings between the two sides. Hill seems to be publicly making it known that he’s still a fan of Kansas City, hinting that he’d be open to a reunion.
But would the Chiefs want Hill back? KC has never been one to totally dismiss a talented player like Hill just because of their off-the-field drama. And we know how much head coach Andy Reid and general manager Brett Veach love reunions.
Still, this doesn’t necessarily feel like a done deal, considering Kansas City has moved on to younger, more team-oriented fits at the position.
Charlie Lindgren on the challenged Tyler Myers goal that was ruled not to be goaltender interference
A wild 41-second span in the first period may have cost the Washington Capitals two standings points against the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday.
After a first-minute goal from Elias Pettersson, the Canucks pressed again, and during a net-front scramble, veteran defenseman
During the chaotic sequence, Lindgren made a save on Filip Chytil, but was unable to freeze the puck. As Linus Karlsson crashed the net, Evander Kane checked Tom Wilson from behind near the crease. As Kane got up, he knocked the puck backward while also appearing to knock Lindgren’s goalie glove off his hand. Myers then fired the puck into the yawning net. Lindgren, incensed that the goal counted, got up and raised his arms (note his hand is missing the goalie glove) at officials, protesting the lack of a goaltender interference call.
At the bench, Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery called a timeout and looked at replays while conferring with video coaches Brett Leonhardt and Emily Engel-Natzke behind the scenes. He ultimately decided to challenge the Canucks goal for goaltender interference, claiming
“The way that we saw that is Chuckie puts his glove on the puck, and Kane’s stick basically pushes through his glove so that he can’t freeze it there,” head coach
After a several-minute review, the Capitals ultimately lost the challenge, putting the Canucks on a power play. The Canucks converted to go up 3-0. The NHL’s situation room provided the following explanation for why Myers’ goal counted.
“Video review confirmed that no goaltender interference infractions occurred prior to Tyler Myers’ goal,” the statement reads. “According to rule 69.7: In a rebound situation, or where a goalkeeper and attacking player(s) are simultaneously attempting to play a loose puck, whether inside or outside the crease, incidental contact with the goalkeeper will be permitted, and any goal that is scored as a result thereof will be allowed.”
Lindgren declined to comment on the play postgame.
“I don’t even think that I’m going to respond to that,” Lindgren said. “People can make their own decisions on it.
“They score the second one, and then we challenge; they score on the penalty — I mean, it’s a domino effect at that point,” he added. “Extremely frustrating, maddening.”
Myers, the beneficiary of the call, specifically highlighted the play that Evander Kane made as to why he was able to score his 100th career NHL goal.
“I got lucky,” Myers
The Capitals, despite a ferocious comeback attempt, ended up 4-3 losers after failing to get a second goal with Lindgren pulled for an extra attacker. The loss ended the Capitals’ four-game winning streak and left them with a 2-1 record on their current four-game homestand.
