Tyreek Hill Post Reacts to Patrick Mahomes’ Season-Ending ACL Tear

Tyreek Hill drops a cryptic tweet after Patrick Mahomes suffers a devastating ACL tear, ending the Chiefs’ season and crushing the hopes of fantasy owners everywhere.

Well, folks, it’s officially over. The Kansas City Chiefs’ reign of terror—or glory, depending on your allegiance—has come to a screeching halt. In a twist of fate that feels like a particularly cruel Madden simulation wrote it, Patrick Mahomes is done for the year. And just to twist the knife a little deeper, Tyreek Hill decided to chime in with a cryptic post that has everyone on X (formerly Twitter, RIP) losing their collective minds.

If you were hoping for a three-peat, you might want to look away. If you were hoping your fantasy team could survive the playoffs, well… sorry about your luck.

The Play That Broke a Kingdom

It happened with less than two minutes left in a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. You know, the Chargers? The team that usually finds a way to lose in the most creative ways possible? Yeah, that team just ended the Chiefs‘ season.

Mahomes was rolling out right, trying to escape Da’Shawn Hand. He planted his left leg to throw the ball away, and pop. Just like that, the dynasty crumbled. It wasn’t a massive hit. It wasn’t a catastrophic collision. It was just physics being a jerk.

Mahomes went down, grabbed his knee, and every Chiefs fan in the stadium probably felt a phantom pain in their own ACLs. The grimace on his face said it all. This wasn’t a “walk it off” situation. This was a “see you in 2026” situation. An MRI confirmed the worst: a torn ACL. Surgery is coming. Rehab is coming. And for the first time since 2014, a Mahomes-less playoffs is coming.

It’s brutal. The guy has played through high ankle sprains that would put mere mortals in a wheelchair. He’s dislocated a kneecap and acted like it was a minor inconvenience. But an ACL? That’s the boss level you can’t cheat code your way through.

Tyreek Hill enters the Chat

Naturally, because the NFL is a soap opera with pads, Tyreek Hill had to get involved. The Miami Dolphins receiver, who has been dealing with his own ACL drama this season, took to social media with a message so vague it could mean anything.

Okay, I’m paraphrasing the emotion, but the sentiment was clear. The Cheetah is heartbroken. Or is he? Is he sad for his former QB? Is he sad for the game? Or is he just stirring the pot because he knows we’ll all overanalyze it? (Spoiler: We are definitely overanalyzing it).

Hill has been linked to a potential return to KC ever since he left, and with his own recovery going “according to schedule,” the timing of this tweet feels… loaded. It’s like when your ex posts a sad song lyric right after you break up with your rebound. You know it’s about you, but you can’t prove it.

A Dynasty on Pause (Thanks to Hill)

Let’s be real for a second. The Chiefs missing the playoffs is weird. It’s like turning on your console and finding out your save file is corrupted. Since January 2015, Kansas City football meant January football. They were chasing history—a third straight Super Bowl. Instead, they’re chasing draft picks and surgeon referrals.

This loss to the Chargers dropped them to 6-8. Six and eight! That’s a record you expect from the Giants, not the Chiefs. It breaks a 10-year playoff streak. The last time the Chiefs weren’t in the postseason, TikTok didn’t exist, and we were all playing Destiny for the first time.

Mahomes, to his credit, is taking it better than I would. He posted a message about trusting in God and attacking rehab. “I will be back stronger than ever,” he said. And honestly? I believe him. We’ve seen Tom Brady come back from this. We’ve seen Joe Burrow come back. Hell, Philip Rivers played on a torn ACL because apparently, he feels no pain, only the urge to throw interceptions.

What’s Next for the Kingdom?

So, what now? The Chiefs enter the offseason way earlier than they’re used to. They have to fix the roster, wait for Mahomes to heal, and figure out how to stop the Chargers from ruining their lives again.

As for Tyreek Hill? Who knows. Maybe that cryptic tweet was a subtle nod that he wants back in. Maybe Hill just misses the days when his QB could scramble for 20 seconds and magically find him open 50 yards downfield.

For now, the rest of the NFL can breathe a sigh of relief. The final boss has been defeated, not by a hero, but by a ligament. But don’t get too comfortable. If Elden Ring taught me anything, it’s that the second phase is always harder. Mahomes will be back, and he’s going to be angry.

Until then, pour one out for the Chiefs Kingdom. It’s going to be a long, cold winter in Missouri.
