Colts Forced to Take Drastic Action After Disrespecting Tyreek Hill Amid NFL Schedule Release

“The Colts schedule release did Tyreek so dirty” The internet doesn’t forget. Just ask the Indianapolis Colts, who learned the hard way that poking fun at Tyreek Hill—a man with 11,098 career receiving yards and a habit of turning slights into sizzle—is like challenging Patrick Mahomes to a fourth-quarter comeback. Bold. Risky. Brutal.

When the Colts dropped their Minecraft-themed 2025 schedule video, they zigged where they should’ve zagged. The clip depicted Hill, Miami Dolphins’ lightning-fast WR, as a pixelated dolphin getting stopped by the Coast Guard as he swam to the match—a nod to his 2024 traffic stop drama. Cue the collective ‘oof.’

Faster than Hill’s 4.29 40-yard dash, backlash erupted. The Colts yanked the video, but not before fans preserved it like a blooper reel destined for NFL lore. Let’s rewind the tape. On September 8, 2024, Hill was briefly detained outside Hard Rock Stadium after a traffic stop escalated. Bodycam footage showed officers pinning him down—a scene he later channeled into a handcuff-themed TD celebration. “If I wasn’t Tyreek Hill, Lord knows, “ he mused postgame, “I probably would have been, like, worst-case scenario, I would have been shot or would have been locked up.” The charges? Dismissed. The chip on his shoulder? Certified.

The Colts’ attempt to meme-ify the incident felt like a botched flea-flicker. Sure, NFL schedule vids thrive on cheeky humor (see: Kyler Murray dubbed “chicken jockey” in the same clip), but threading the needle between funny and foul requires the precision of a Hill end-zone fade. ‘You gotta know your audience,’ as The Simpsons’ Homer Simpson once slurred, ‘It’s funny ’cause it’s true.’ Except here, the truth stung—a reminder that real-life drama isn’t always gridiron material.
