Dolphins set franchise record with third defensive touchdown in as many weeks

When you generally think about the Miami Dolphins and scoring points, you think about one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFL, and for good reason. But do you know that when Miami defensive lineman Zach Sieler picked off this Will Levis pass against the Tennessee Titans on Monday night and returned it five yards for a touchdown, it marked the third straight game in which the Dolphins scored a defensive touchdown, which set a franchise record?

We’ll start with safety Jevon Holland’s 99-yard pick-six against quarterback Tim Boyle and the New York Jets on Black Friday, which was the worst Hail Mary attempt we’ve ever seen.

And then in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders, pass-rusher Andrew Van Ginkel took this Sam Howell screen attempt 33 yards to the house.

As Sieler weight 305 pounds, we’ll call that a #THICCSIX. Van Ginkel clocks in at about 240, and Holland weighs 210, those touchdowns do not apply. We don’t make the rules here; we just follow them.
