While Miami is known for its speedy high-powered offense, Sunday, most of their attack came from behind the line of scrimmage or short passes. The Dolphins ran a flurry of screen passes to running back De’Von Achane and tight end Jonnu Smith.

While the Dolphins kept things tight, Nick Sorenson and the 49ers defense had no answer for Miami’s quick passing attack.

Tua Tagovailoa finished with 215 yards passing with a 6.3 average against the 49ers. Tagovailoa did not have a downfield dynamic play-through the air with his largest gain going for 24 yards to Tyreek Hill. The Dolphins rarely even attempted a pass downfield, instead opting for Smith and Achane underneath. Achane finished as the Dolphins’ leading receiver with 70 yards through the air.
