Best moments from second episode of Dolphins ‘Hard Knocks’

The Miami Dolphins have been on a roll to start this season, as they’ve compiled an 8-3 record through the first 12 weeks of the season.

And, now, they have even more attention on them, as they’re the focus of this year’s edition of the in-season version of “Hard Knocks” on HBO and Max.

The second episode of the season aired on Tuesday night with more to follow weekly.

Here are some of the best moments from episode No. 2:

One of the first moments we got in this episode was members of the defense (Christian Wilkins, Zach Sieler, Jaelan Phillips and Jevon Holland) talking about how they’re just as good if not better than the offense.

Miami’s offensive unit, led by Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill, has gotten a ton of attention this year, and rightly so. However, it’s been the defense that’s kept them up in recent weeks.

Holland returned an interception 99 yards for a touchdown, and he got everyone so hyped that the head coach even forgot they had to kick an extra point.
