Revenge is a dish best served in the bowl.
In Week 12, the Chiefs knocked down the Buccaneers 27-24 in what would be a Super Bowl preview. In the game, Tyreek Hill threw his signature “two” to Bucs rookie safety Antoine Winfield Jr., solidifying his dominance over monster performance. Hill went for 269 yards and three touchdowns in the performance.
Well, Winfield got his revenge in Super Bowl 55, not just through the dashboard –Tampa Bay won 31-9 – but with a little personal revenge too, throwing both at Hill in the dying minutes of the game.

Winfield got a 15-yard penalty for provocation (which is utterly ridiculous, by the way), but the Bucs weren’t hurt in the end. Winfield feels it too.
I’m a Super Bowl CHAMPION❗️?☠️

After the game, Winfield explained the taunt as something he “had to do”.
“Taunting was something I just had to do,” Said Winfield. “When we played them earlier, Hill went over to us. He turned in front of my face and gave me the peace sign. So it was just that I gave him the peace sign right now. . It I felt amazing that I could do that. I’m not even going to lie. “
Many people thought Winfield’s 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty was worth it and was entertaining:
Bump that !! If you can throw the ✌? sign and get back into the end zone, Winfield should be able to do that to you when they whip you hard. If you have to throw the flag at 31, you should throw the flag at 10 when it embarrasses people.

Most provocative penalties are worth it. I love Winfield ???

Another perfect example of why a team should be rewarded, not penalized, for a good taunt. Just perfect timing, content and execution by Antoine Winfield Jr.

Hopefully there is peace between the two. Otherwise, a welcome new rivalry in the NFL was born.
