The NFL season regular season is finally underway.
A controversy broke out on the first Sunday of games.
And a Miami Dolphins star shocked the crowd with this touchdown celebration.
Dolphins star Tyreek Hill was detained by police before the game
The first Sunday of the NFL season had a controversy before the first games kicked off at 1:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.
Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill was briefly detained by police outside of Hard Rock Stadium for a moving violation.
He was reportedly cited for reckless driving and got into an argument with the police officers who pulled him over.
Tyreek Hill body camera footage isn’t great for him.
Immediately argues with police, appears to ignore lawful orders, doesn’t get down when told to and was overall combative.

“Don’t knock on my window like that,” Hill told the police officer.
The office questioned Hill as to why he was not wearing his seat belt.
“Just give me my ticket, bro, so I can go. I am going to be late. Do what you gotta do,” Hill said.
Hill rolled his window back up against the officer’s wishes.
“Don’t tell me what to do,” Hill told the police.
The police officer told him to put the window back down.
“I am going to get you out of the car. As a matter of fact, get out of the car,” the police officer told him.
“Get out of the car or I will break that f**king window,” a second officer said.
The second officer got Hill out of the car and put him face-first on the ground.
Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Calais Campbell pulled up and tried to intervene on behalf of his teammate.
Campbell refused to follow the officer’s commands to leave and was handcuffed.
Eventually, Hill and Campbell were released.
Hill argued with the police instead of following their orders, but the Miami-Dade Police Department placed one of the officers on administrative leave for the incident.
Tyreek Hill mocks his arrest with a touchdown celebration
Hill was coming off one of the best seasons of his career last year when he led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards, tied for first in receiving touchdowns with 13, and was tied for second in receptions with 119.
His altercation with the police before the game did not slow him down in the Dolphin’s season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Dolphins were trailing 17-7 late in the third quarter when Hill delivered a big play.
He caught an 80-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa where he outran two Jaguars defenders to the endzone.

Hill reenacted his earlier arrest by putting his hands behind his back like he was handcuffed and had one of his teams act like he was arresting him.

That became the longest touchdown reception of Hill’s decorated NFL career.
Miami managed to come back and beat Jacksonville 20-17.
Hill finished the day with seven receptions for 130 yards and one touchdown.
And he is the leader in the clubhouse for having the most unique touchdown celebration for an NFL player this season.
