Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr. had the last laugh against Tyreek Hill after a 31-9 Super Bowl LV win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. 

In a Week 12 game against the Bucs, Hill finished with 269 yards and three touchdowns. At the end of a 75-yard touchdown in that game, Hill flashed his signature peace sign toward Winfield Jr. as he crossed the goal line

During Super Bowl LV, the Bucs defense held Hill to seven catches for 73 yards.
