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:
The defense wants respect
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.

Mike McDaniel, Stephen Ross, Woody Johnson and Robert Saleh
The two head coaches and two owners met up before the game, and Jets owner Woody Johnson showed off some bling.
Mike McDaniel loved Jets owner Woody Johnson’s MASSIVE chain and told Stephen Ross he wants it worked into his contract to get a chain like that as an incentive😭 pic.twitter.com/IRAQX8z2IK

Jevon Holland's pick-6
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.
Nobody was more excited than Mike McDaniel after Jevon Holland's Hail Mary pick-6. 🙌#HardKnocks with the @MiamiDolphins tonight at 9pm ET on @StreamOnMax pic.twitter.com/lQMQdheZIC
