AROUND THE WEB:
-- Tyreek Hill is taking the high road after a group of Patriots fans gave him the finger and one threw beer at him following a touchdown catch against New England on Sunday night.
“My coach (Andy Reid) told me, ‘don’t get emotional. Don’t get mad about it because it comes with the territory,'” Hill said after the game. “I’m not mad at all.”
After his fourth quarter touchdown, Hill ran through the end zone and came to a stop at the stands, where fans flipped him off and one threw beer from a Bud Light bottle at him.
