There's nothing like a bit of payback.

During Tampa Bay's week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, KC game-breaker Tyreek Hill had one of the most dominant performances in recent memory.

Hill had more than 200 yards in the first quarter. The Chiefs receiver finished with 269 and three touchdowns. At the end of a 75-yard touchdown during that game, Hill sledged rookie safety Antoine Winfield Jr. with his signature peace sign as he crossed the end zone.

Not long after he stopped before the goal line and ended a 44-yard touchdown with a backflip. The Buccaneers took note of Hill's antics, and when the star receiver only made seven catches for 73 yards in the Super Bowl in a disappointing performance, the Bucs' defence couldn't help but rub it in.

Hill failed to complete a pass on a fourth down try in the second half, when Tampa Bay rookie Antione Winfield Jr walked up to him and flashed the peace sign in the receiver's face. The rookie was flagged for taunting but the youngster wasn't taking anything back after the match.

"The taunting, man, it's something I just had to do," Winfield said.

"When we played them earlier, Hill went off on us. He back-flipped in front of my face and gave me the peace sign. So it was only right that I gave him the peace sign right back to him. It felt amazing to do that. I'm not even gonna lie."

Winfield had a dominant performance with six tackles, an interception and two pass breakups, joining teammates Devin White, Ndamukong Suh and Shaq Barrett as stand outs for the Bucs' defence in the 31-9 victory over the Chiefs.
