Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill had a unique touchdown celebration during his team's Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers.
Hill caught a 41-yard touchdown pass from Tua Tagovailoa with 1:54 remaining in the second quarter when he grabbed a camera from a photographer behind the end zone, turned it to face himself and did a backflip before handing it back, which resulted in a 15-yard penalty. The photographer appeared to be wearing an NFL shirt and the video was initially shared to the league's United Kingdom X account before being deleted minutes later.
Hill recorded three receptions for 79 yards and one touchdown, while the Dolphins held a 21-14 lead, before halftime.

Hill later appeared to be injured on another big reception in the third quarter. The All-Pro wide receiver caught a 47-yard pass from Tagovailoa before slowing down while running to the sideline to avoid being tackled.
Hill was taken to the locker room with team trainers to be evaluated. No additional details were made available at this time.
Hill entered Sunday's game as the NFL's leader in receiving yards (651) and co-leader in receiving touchdowns (5) tied with Buffalo Bills star Stefon Diggs, as well as having sixth in receptions (36).
