All 32 NFL teams released their 2025 schedules on Wednesday. However, the Indianapolis Colts quickly took down their video after including a controversial reference to Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who has now reacted to the situation.
The 2025 NFL season is gradually taking shape. Teams have now announced their full schedules for the upcoming campaign, with many unveiling them through creative and entertaining videos.
Still, what the Colts did quickly drew attention. Indianapolis released a video that referenced the Dolphins—one of their 2025 opponents—but used a highly controversial moment involving Tyreek Hill.

The Indianapolis Colts will kick off their 2025 season against the Miami Dolphins. Historically, there’s not much of a rivalry between these teams, but the AFC South club may have just sparked some tension.

On Wednesday, teams were set to reveal their schedules. In recent years, many franchises have leaned into animation and humor for these releases, and the Colts wanted to join the trend with their own creative spin.
Unfortunately, their video crossed a line and had to be taken down. As mentioned, the Colts will face the Dolphins in Week 1 and chose to reveal that matchup with a Minecraft-style video.
In the animation, the Colts depicted Tyreek Hill as a dolphin being arrested by the Coast Guard. The scene referenced a 2024 incident in which Hill was stopped by police outside Hard Rock Stadium—a situation he later described as an abuse of authority.
After removing the video, the Colts re-released their schedule using simple images made in Microsoft Paint. A few hours later, Hill reacted to the deleted video with a surprising response: “Should’ve left it up @Colts, this was funny.”
Why was Tyreek Hill arrested in 2024?
In September 2024, Hill was detained by police during a traffic stop ahead of a Dolphins game. He was not charged, and one officer was placed on administrative leave after body camera footage of the incident was released.
