CARSON, Calif. -- Tyreek Hill calls it "Cheetah speed," his name for the gear he slips into in the open field.
Hill got into Cheetah speed several times on Sunday in the Kansas City Chiefs' 38-28 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. It started with his 91-yard punt return for a touchdown two minutes into the game and continued with his seven receptions for 169 yards and two additional touchdowns.
Cheetah is Hill's nickname for himself, and it's not just self-promotion. He may well be the NFL's fastest player.
His speed was the single biggest factor in determining the outcome against the Chargers.
