The Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins will be the highlight of the NFL this weekend. The two teams that have the same record, having won 6 games and lost 2, will determine which team gets to 6-3 on Sunday. It will be a special game for Tyreek Hill who previously played for the Kansas City Chiefs before leaving the team for a much bigger bag.

While the Chiefs’ decision to not bring back Tyreek Hill has been criticized, Skip Bayless of Undisputed on FS1 believes that the Chiefs did end up winning that trade ultimately. He said: 

The point is, I still don't know how they pulled this off without Tyreek.

The analyst was surprised that even after losing their most reliable weapon on the field, Patrick Mahomes & Co. managed to win the Super Bowl last season.

The Chiefs received five draft picks in exchange for Tyreek Hill, a first-round pick, a second-round pick, and a fourth-round pick in 2022, and a fourth and sixth-round pick in 2023. Following Hill’s departure, the Chiefs decided to bring in Juju Smith-Schuster to help Patrick Mahomes on offense. While he was not able to fill the void created by Hill, Juju did do enough for the Chiefs to be able to win games.

Skip goes on to share who he believes won the Tyreek Hill trade. Here is what he had to say: 

They won the game (Super Bowl) without Tyreek...All I know is they did that so they won the trade, unless you tell me that in this year, next year, next couple of years, if the Dolphins could go win two Super Bowls then I'll give them the trade but I don't think they're going to win one Super Bowl.

The analyst sees the Chiefs as the undisputed winner of this trade because despite losing Tyreek Hill, the fastest wideout in the NFL, the most skilled and athletic receiver playing in the league, and Patrick Mahomes’ top target, the team managed to regroup and go to the Super Bowl. The team was not done there, they beat the Philadelphia Eagles and won the game without needing Tyreek Hill.

Since the Chiefs have already shown that they can win with or without Tyreek, Skip hails them to be the winners of this trade. He is of the opinion that since the Miami Dolphins have not even managed to make the Super Bowl, let alone win it, this trade has not done much for the team. The only circumstance where Skip Bayless would give the Dolphins credit for winning this trade would be if the team managed to win multiple Super Bowls in the next few seasons. However, that is something he does not expect to happen anytime soon.
