No, that’s not what Jaylen Waddle was saying on Sunday with his counterpart, Tyreek Hill, inactive due to an ankle injury he suffered against the Tennessee Titans on Dec. 11. Hill leads the league in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns, so his loss when facing the New York Jets this past Sunday could’ve had a big impact on the game.
