KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tyreek Hill is calling an audible.

At the aiding of his head coach, the Kansas City Chiefs wideout is switching back to a safer celebration.

“I will stop doing backflips,” Hill told the media on a zoom call Friday, calling the celebration and risk of injury ‘dangerous."

“Coach Reid just lets us be free spirited and just play the game,” Hill said. Hill first flipped in the endzone during a week 12 win over the Buccaneers.

Cheetah racked up over 200 yards in the first half, leading the Chiefs to a 27-24 victory.

“I’ll just go back to the peace sign baby,” Hill said on plans for his next touchdown celebration.
