Tight end Julian Hill caught two passes for the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon, but NFL fans will remember his performance for a different reason — his exposed rear end.
The Dolphins tight end caught a pass during the 24-3 loss to the Seahawks. As safety Rayshawn Jenkins went to tackle him, his hands yanked down Hill's pants.
This tackle exposed Hill's backside to fans at the game, as well as photographer Kevin Ng who forever immortalized the moment.

"Ain't no way this is real.... I haven't seen the actual play so it makes me think it's photoshopped or something," one person posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
Ng responded by proving that the photo was real. He posted a sample from his camera roll, which showed multiple moments from the play in question.
Jenkins went to tackle Hill from behind, wrapping his arms around the tight end's legs. The camera roll then showed frame-by-frame as the pants slid down Hill's legs. Unfortunately for Jenkins, the photos also showed his face directly next to one cheek.
"You know he felt that Seattle air," another person joked on X.
The comments continued as the NFL fans said that Ng's photo was the perfect way to describe the Dolphins this season and their performance against the Seahawks. The most common question asked on X was "How a** are the dolphins?"
The game against the Seahawks was one full of struggles for the Dolphins. The team entered the Week 3 matchup without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who landed on Injured Reserve with a concussion.
In Tagovailoa's place was backup Skyler Thompson, who struggled against the unrelenting Seahawks defense that pressured him on every dropback. Thompson completed 13 of his 19 attempted passes for 107 yards before exiting the game with a chest/rib injury.
Tim Boyle then came into the game in relief and went 7-13 for 79 yards. Boyle nearly led a scoring drive, but his fourth-and-goal pass fell incomplete.
The Dolphins defense intercepted two Geno Smith's passes but also gave up a 71-yard touchdown to DK Metcalf. Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns.
