49ers’ rally ends two yards short against Dolphins

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Six yards from a game-tying touchdown and with two seconds remaining, Colin Kaepernick said he thought he saw a path to the end zone.

And after rushing for more than 100 yards earlier in the game, you couldn't doubt his instincts. This time, however, three Dolphins defenders closed in quickly, leaving the 49ers quarterback two yards short of the goal line and his team with a 31-24 loss

“You have to get in the end zone," Kaepernick said. "Ultimately, that’s what it comes down to. We had a pass play called, stepped up and thought we had a seam to get in there and didn’t make it in.
