After snuffing out top receivers all season, a banged-up Patriots defense meets its match in Tyreek Hill

For years now, Tyreek Hill has struck fear into the hearts of just about every defensive backfield and NFL coaching staff.

Well, except for maybe Bill Belichick and the Patriots.

With a blistering 0-to-60 acceleration that can leave even the most physically gifted cornerbacks sucking wind, Hill might be the closest thing the NFL has to a real-life Madden cheat code.

But Sunday’s showdown between the Patriots and Dolphins might have been the lone matchup that the 29-year-old wideout wasn’t looking forward to on Miami’s 2023 docket.

If there’s one thing that a defense helmed by Belichick has built a reputation for over the years, it’s crafting a gameplan centered around eliminating an opponent’s top offensive weapon.
