KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After saying he would never have to be the guy to chase down a defender because his quarterback doesn’t throw interceptions, Tyreek Hill was that guy on Sunday.
Hill ran down Foyesade Oluokun — 51 yards down the field — after the Atlanta Falcons linebacker intercepted a pass from Patrick Mahomes in the third quarter of Sunday’s 17-14 Kansas City Chiefs victory.
The irony there is that earlier in the season Hill was asked about Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf chasing down Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker and whether he would ever do the same.
OLUOKUN.

Hill at the time indicated he would never have a chance like Metcalf.

“The DK Metcalf play, that was a real nice play, but unfortunately for me, I would never be able to showcase that because Patrick never throws interceptions,” Hill said. “So there you have it.”
