MIAMI (AP) — Christian Wilkins is proud of his hands, and that’s not all.
The exuberant 315-pound tackle had a simple explanation for his first career interception, the kind of pivotal play that has become common for the Miami Dolphins’ defense.
“It’s all in the hips,” Wilkins said. “I just really had to open my hips and break on the ball. You know what I’m saying?”
What he’s saying is the Dolphins have gotten good at getting in the way, which is a big change and a big reason they’re 4-3.
Twelve months ago, the Dolphins were 0-7 under first-year coach Brian Flores.
