Tyreek Hill had a strong warning for the Eagles

Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill has sent a fierce warning to the Philadelphia Eagles ahead of their Sunday Night Football match-up at the Lincoln Financial Field this weekend.

The Eagles-Dolphins clash is an eagerly anticipated one, with both teams enjoying impressive starts to the campaign. The two franchises have lost just one game each across their opening fixtures with the Dolphins falling 48-20 to the Buffalo Bills earlier this month.

Since then though Hill and his teammates have bounced back after securing two victories on the bounce. They first defeated the New York Giants 31-16, before seeing off the Carolina Panthers 42-21 last weekend.

The Eagles meanwhile were undefeated this time last week, having won all five of their opening games since getting underway in September. They finally fell to their first loss of the campaign last week though, losing 20-14 to an improving New York Jets team.

Ahead of Sunday's Week 7 showdown, Hill is hoping to inflict similar damage on the Eagles setup, despite their hot start and the task of playing in front of a raucous Philly crowd. " I’ve played in Philly,” Hill said. “I mean obviously the fans are going to be fans, regardless of who you play against. Some good, some nasty.

"I feel like playing this game, that’s what you have to expect sometimes, and that’s what I’m ready for. We’re just going to treat [the Eagles] like any other opponent." Kicking off the fighting talk he added: "We’re going to go in there and play hard and do what we have to do to win.”

This weekend's clash is set to be a hotly contested one, and fits the bill perfectly for a Sunday Night Football showing. For Hill, this is something the wide receiver and his Miami teammates are looking forward to.

He commented: "I love it. This is what football is all about."

"Going against a real good opponent, Sunday Night Football, no better stage. I feel like our guys are ready with the way we practiced today.” The final NFL match of week 7 will get underway in the early hours of Monday morning, kicking off at 1:20am BST.
