Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield threw up the deuces in Tyreek Hill’s face after breaking up a pass intended for the wide receiver.
On fourth-and-10 with just under four minutes remaining in the final quarter of Super Bowl LV, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw a literal and figurative Hail Mary to Hill in an attempt to pull their team out of a 22-point hole. But Winfield dove in front of Hill at the five-yard line to swat away the pass, and he let the receiver know it.
The 22-year-old defender earned an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for trolling Hill, but 15 yards was hardly a significant price to pay in exchange for revenge.
The Chiefs star - nicknamed Cheetah for his speed - employs the peace sign celebration regularly after burning defenders on running routes. Hill threw up the two-finger gesture after blazing past Winfield during his team's matchup with the Bucs back in November.

Winfield evidently didn't forget the slight. But if he was offended by Hill's antics earlier in the season, Winfield certainly got payback with his late-game taunting - and even more so with the new ring on his finger. The Bucs took home the Vince Lombardi Trophy with Sunday night's 31-9 victory, and Winfield only had one thing left to say to Hill at the game's end.
Peace out.
