The only thing better than Tyreek Hill using his explosive speed to get behind the Washington Commanders' secondary for a 78-yard touchdown on Sunday afternoon, might have been the Miami Dolphins' celebration after the play.
After reaching the endzone, Hill immediately took a seat and raised one arm as several teammates followed suit, before offensive lineman Robert Hunt lowered each player's arm, as if it were a lap bar on a roller coaster. Hill and his teammates then proceeded to mimic the motion of a roller coaster ride, in what might be the NFL's touchdown celebration of the year:

Hill is in the midst of one of the most prolific seasons of his career, catching 88 passes for 1,324 yards and 10 touchdowns, while playing his way into the fringes of the NFL MVP conversation.
Prior to Sunday's contest, Dolphins wide receiver coach Wes Welker said he believes that Hill might be the best receiver that he's ever been around, even better than Hall of Famer Randy Moss.
"Randy is probably the best deep ball receiver, ever in the game," Welker told reporters. "But Tyreek can run the whole route tree. He can run choice routes, he can run lookie, he can take the top off. His ball skills? Coming in and out of breaks. Name a route you don't like Tyreek on? I can't think of one. That's what separates him in that regard. It's his mindset, and the way he approaches every single day, and every single game. It's very impressive that he's got that mentality, along with all those skills."
Hill and the Dolphins entered Sunday's contest at 8-3, atop the AFC East standings, and a victory would keep Miami in the mix for home-field advantage throughout the Playoffs.
