Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill moves up franchise leaderboard for touchdown receptions

After a three touchdown performance against the #Eagles, Tyreek Hill is now tied for the fourth-most receiving touchdowns in #Chiefs franchise history.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill moved up in the franchise leaderboards for receiving touchdowns during the win against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

Ahead of the game, Hill was in sixth place in franchise history with 49 receiving touchdowns. However, after his incredible three-touchdown performance in Philadelphia, Hill has passed former Chiefs WR Stephon Paige and moved into a tie for fourth place with a current teammate. Both Hill and Travis Kelce have 51 receiving touchdowns with Chiefs during their careers, good for the fourth-most in franchise history.

“I’m just thankful to be a part of this team,” Hill said of his performance following the game. “I think each and every week, people expect me to be that, but I’m going to always be me for this team. I don’t care if I have 200 yards, I don’t if I have 50 as long as we get the W. That’s me, that’s my mindset each and every day. That’s how my dad taught me to play football — to play for my brothers.”

This game marked Hill’s third career game with three receiving touchdowns. It was his first since the Week 11 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season.

Hill and Kelce need five more touchdowns to pass former Chiefs WR Chris Burford for the fifth-most touchdown receptions in franchise history. They’ll keep that in their mind over the next few weeks as they look to correct issues and continue winning.

“There’s always things to correct,” Hill said. “I don’t care if you put up 50 points, there’s always one thing in a play to be corrected. Whether it’s myself, whether it’s (Travis) Kelce, whether it’s Pat (Mahomes) — we’re going to find something to correct.”

Hill knows the team has plenty more work to do before this team can achieve their goals. Expectations are high, not just from the fans, but their own expectations in the Kansas City locker room.

“I feel like this win right here, we’re just going to continue to build off of it,” Hill said. “Like I said, there are always things to correct and that’s what we’re going to do because this team, we all want to be good. People expect us to win each and every week and I feel like we – in our mind – were also there too. Like the guys in the locker room, we expect to win. We just need to do what we did today — come out and just be the aggressor.”

WATCH: Kayshon Boutte and LSU strike first against Auburn

Kayshon Boutte proving he is the top touchdown producer at the WR position.

After forcing Auburn and Bo Nix to punt the ball to LSU at the nine-yard line, it was Max Johnson’s turn. The combination of Johnson and Kayshon Boutte would help the offense strike first.

The first play from scrimmage for LSU was a 55-yard catch and run to Boutte, that took them into Auburn territory. Boutte caught another pass for 13 yards and a first down as they marched right into the redzone. On first and goal from the 10, a bad snap put the offense all the way back on the Auburn 31-yard line. The very next play was Johnson to Boutte once again.

LSU was able to strike first, due to penalties and a bad snap, Johnson was able to throw for over 100 yards on the drive. It was a remarkable effort by the Johnson and Boutte connection on this drive, LSU can use a lot more of that moving forward.
