Watch: Dolphins' WR Tyreek Hill recovers fumble during mad scramble, runs for 57-yard TD

By Mike Santa Barbara  |  Last updated 12/11/22

Miami Dolphins electric wideout Tyreek Hill proved he can be dangerous in any scenario Sunday night against the Los Angeles Chargers after returning a fumble 57-yards for a touchdown.

With nine minutes left in the first half, Dolphins' running back Jeff Wilson fumbled, causing a mad scramble for the football. Hill spotted the ball that had somehow squeezed out of the pile as bodies continued to collide. Then, Hill turned on the jets in a true showcase of his ludicrous speed. After scooping up the football, Hill circled the mass of humanity before outrunning the shell-shocked Chargers to the endzone for Miami's first score of the night. 

With the score, Hill managed to out-gain his entire team in the first half, as the Dolphins managed only 55 total yards aside from Hill's 57-yard fumble recovery over the first two quarters. 

Hill's bizarre touchdown helped him make NFL history. According to the NFL Media Research Department, Hill is the only player in the Super Bowl era to record receiving, rushing, kick return, punt return, and fumble return touchdowns.

In his first season with the Fins', Hill has been highly productive, albeit in a more traditional way. 

Hill came into Sunday night leading the NFL in receptions (96), receiving yards (1,379), and yards per game (114.9).
