The Miami Dolphins secured a crucial victory against the San Francisco 49ers, winning 29-17 and keeping their playoff hopes alive. Tua Tagovailoa threw for 215 yards and a touchdown, while Jason Sanders contributed five field goals, including a 54-yarder.

The 49ers, eliminated from playoff contention prior to the game, struggled with penalties and self-inflicted errors. Brock Purdy managed to throw for two touchdowns but was intercepted late in the game.

Despite the loss, Deebo Samuel caught a touchdown, marking his first since Week 6. The Dolphins now need to win their final two games and hope for losses from other teams to secure a playoff spot.
