On Sunday Night Football in Week 18 as the Miami Dolphins lose the AFC East Championship Game to the Buffalo Bills, South Florida native Chad ‘Ochocinco ‘ Johnson) didn’t have much to say about the Miami Dolphins.
Johnson has been one of the Dolphins’ biggest supporters this season and believes the Dolphins can make it to the Super Bowl. However, the Miami Heat have struggled this season, with a record of 1-5 against playoff teams this season.
Instead of playing the Bills at home this week, the Dolphins travel to face the Kansas City Chiefs.
What is Johnson’s X-factor in his game? Former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
Hill will return to Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday for the first time since being traded to the Dolphins last season. The two teams met earlier this season at a Chiefs home game, but this game was played in Frankfurt, Germany as part of the NFL International Series.
“Tyreke Hill has to leave that mark on the game,” Johnson said on Sunday’s edition of Nightcap .
“The way Michael Jordan took over the game, the way LeBron took over the game – like, ‘You know what? I’m going to put us on my back’ – Tyreek has to do that. He’s got to go to the offense:’ Man, let me move around. Do what you need to do.'”
In Week 9 against the Chiefs, Hill had just nine touches for 65 yards in a 21-14 loss.
With temperatures expected to be below freezing in Kansas City on Saturday, the warm-weather Dolphins will have to take a different approach to advance to the divisional round for the first time since 2000.
