During the second quarter of the Panthers-Dolphins game on Sunday, wide receiver Tyreek Hill filmed himself doing a backflip after hauling in a 41-yard touchdown pass from Tua Tagovailoa.
Immediately after Hill pulled off the backflip, NFL fans mentioned that he would probably receive a fine for taking someone’s phone and using it as a prop.
Speaking to the media this week, Hill acknowledged that he’s going to be fined for his celebration. He doesn’t really care though.
“I know the NFL’s gonna fine me for it, but it’s worth it, though,” Hill said. “To be able to create memories I can look back on when I’m done is something I think of every time I play this game. Every time I step on the field I’m gonna try to make it memorable.”

Hill has been on a tear this season, racking up 814 receiving yards in the team’s first six games.
Next up for the Dolphins is a showdown with the Eagles. That game will be nationally televised on NBC.
If Hill scores yet again, he may have something special planned for the fans in Philadelphia.
