The SF 49ers did little right and a lot wrong in Week 5 against the Dolphins, losing on both offense and defense and seeing Jimmy Garoppolo benched.

Perhaps the SF 49ers just aren’t very good in 2020. And maybe quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo isn’t either.

This, after the visiting Miami Dolphins came in and absolutely embarrassed the Niners 43-17 in Week 5 at Levi’s Stadium, essentially forcing San Francisco to start thinking about 2021 instead of their all-but-out-of-reach-now “revenge tour” of 2020.
