Scandal before the NFL derby between the Miami Dolphins and the Jacksonville Jaguars! Wide receiver Tyreek Hill was taken away in handcuffs shortly before the game because he was allegedly speeding in his sports car! He won the game - and the 30-year-old also scored a touchdown. 

A few hours before the NFL team Miami Dolphins' first game of the season, star player Tyreek Hill caused a scary moment. The police briefly arrested the 30-year-old wide receiver on Sunday because he was involved in a traffic incident, the Florida club announced.

Hill was apparently speeding, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter. There is also said to have been a verbal altercation with the police officers present, the US journalist continues.

However, Hill was available for the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars shortly afterwards and was in the starting eleven.

Video footage shows Hill lying face down on the ground while four officers surround him, place his hands behind his back and appear to handcuff him. The incident is said to have taken place outside Hard Rock Stadium, the Dolphins' home ground.

Tochdown and victory
Hill's manager Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN about the footage circulating of the arrest: "It's crazy, I've never seen anything like it." For him, the police action was "completely unnecessary".

Unbelievable, but true: the 30-year-old then played against his rivals from Florida and won 20-17 with his team despite trailing 14-0. Hill caught seven passes for 130 yards and scored a touchdown.

A loss for Raimann
The Indianapolis Colts, on the other hand, failed to open the season. The team of Viennese left tackle Bernhard Raimann, who was in the lineup of the Colts offense, was narrowly defeated 27-29 by the division rival Houston Texans at home in Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday. Touchdowns from Alec Pierce, Jonathan Taylor, Ashton Dulin and quarterback Anthony Richardson were ultimately not enough for "Indy".
