The fan secretly recorded the entire encounter until Hill left the elevator. However, the Dolphins’ wide receiver maintained his composure while being taunted about his team’s brutal season-opening defeat. Before stepping out of the lift, he made sure to leave the Colts fan with a cryptic message.
Colts Fan Secretly Records Elevator Run-In with Tyreek Hill
The elevator encounter unfolded like a scene from a football fan’s fever dream. It could be a lively and cordial conversation if the fan were a Dolphins supporter. Unfortunately, he turned out to be Hill’s opposition. So, the fan not only decided to chirp the Dolphins’ star about the Sunday night loss when everything went wrong for the team
Following the humiliating loss, the 31-year-old had a hushed day with just four receptions for 40 yards. The Dolphins’ offense struggled across the board, and Hill’s subdued performance only added to the frustration.
He was upset, but this friendly trash talk with the Colt fan hopefully gave him some good time, as it sounded in the secretly recorded video.
One X user posted the record,penning, “My uncle is in Indianapolis, and he ended up with Tyreek Hill in the elevator. He asked him, “How does 0-1 sound to you?”

In the clip, the Colts fan wasted no time getting under Hill’s skin, opening with the pointed question, “How does 0-1 sound?”
Hill, known for his swagger, responded with cool: “Sounds good to me, bro. Just have to wait and see, huh?” The exchange didn’t end there, as the fan pressed further with another jab, saying, “Hopefully you’ll oversleep. Don’t count on it, right?”
As Hill prepared to exit the elevator, he delivered his most cryptic line of the encounter: “This is walking the park, right?”
The comment left fans scratching their heads about whether he was brushing off the trash talk or hinting at the Dolphins’ outlook for the weeks ahead.
Tyreek Hill’s Injury Concerns Linger After Disappointing Opener
Hill entered Week 1 with oblique and calf injuries that limited his practice time. He missed some necessary sessions as well as preseason games, which may have affected his timing with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in the season-opener.
By halftime, Miami had zero points on the scoreboard, and then Hill was tackled during a routine 4-yard catch in the third quarter. After the hit, he requested to exit the field and went into the blue medical tent for evaluation.
He did return, but not in the game. He spent several minutes inside before returning to the sideline,watching Miami lose disastrously.

His limited impact raised concerns given his recent recovery from those injuries. Head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that Hill’s oblique injury was an overuse issue that developed because Hill “was taking every rep that was on the books” during training camp.
Hill’s physical limitations may have been a factor in Miami’s anemic offensive showing against Indianapolis. The Dolphins managed just eight points in a game where Hill was expected to be their primary weapon.
