Miami’s five game winning streak was snapped on Sunday with a loss to the San Francisco 49ers, 33-17. It was the first of three straight road games for the Dolphins, and if Miami was looking to start the trip on the right foot, the exact opposite happened.
When the 49ers quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, left the game early, he was replaced by backup QB Brock Purdy. The defense was licking their chops, but unfortunately San Francisco relied on other weapons like Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel en route to victory.
Miami’s offense didn’t help things either, as Tua Tagovailoa contributed three turnovers — two interceptions and one fumble lost — on the day, while looking out of sync for most of the contest.
