Getty Tyreek Hill had a message upon arrival at Arrowhead Stadium for Chiefs-Dolphins.
We are less than an hour away from kickoff and Tyreek Hill is in the building for the Arrowhead Stadium Wild Card matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins.
Upon arrival, Hill had a message for fans via KSHB41 reporter Aaron Ladd.

“Good man,” Hill responded to a reporter, voicing: “You miss this cold or what? Something I wasn’t looking forward to.”
In a separate video shared by FOX 4 KC’s Harold Kuntz, Hill’s entrance continued. The wide receiver added that “I’m freezing my b— off out here.”
If Hill and the Dolphins are going to beat the Chiefs, they’ll have to get used to that cold — and fast. AccuWeather currently lists a real feel temperature of -12°F, including wind gusts up to 15 mph.
Later, “the Cheetah” made it a point to get himself acclimated to the weather around 7 p.m. EST, jogging out onto Arrowhead in short sleeves and no headwear (video via the Dolphins social media team).

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Arrives at Arrowhead for Face-off With Dolphins, Tyreek Hill
Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes has already taken the field at Arrowhead too. Here was his arrival video courtesy of the Chiefs social media team.
Playoff Patrick has arrived.
“Playoff Patrick has arrived,” the Chiefs X account stated. Mahomes sported his classic Oakley sunglasses as well as an open winter jacket and jeans.
As usual, Mahomes appeared focused. He had his headphones in and unlike Hill, no jokes were told.
After the viral entrance, Mahomes was the “first player” to take the field according to Chiefs Digest insider Matt Derrick. He watched as the tarp was removed.
Patrick Mahomes is the first player I see on the field, watching the tarp getting removed.
On his career, Mahomes has already accumulated 4,468 total playoff yards, along with 40 total touchdowns and just seven interceptions (per Pro Football Focus). He’s gone 11-3 over his 14 appearances, with a PFF grade of 91.7.
On the flip side, Tyreek Hill has 1,246 scrimmage yards and six total touchdowns over 14 postseason appearances. Through the air, he’s achieved 82.1 yards per game in the playoffs with a catch percentage of 67.9%.
Get ready for what could be an all-time rivalry matchup between two former teammates and current MVP candidates — and that statement is discounting Travis Kelce, Tua Tagovailoa, Chris Jones, Jalen Ramsey, Isiah Pacheco, Jaylen Waddle and all the other talented stars that will take the field at Arrowhead Stadium on the evening of January 13.
