The Miami Dolphins lost by 22 points to the San Francisco 49ers, but there may have been more encouraging signs than the final score suggests. Miami won time of possession, moved the ball effectively in the first half, improved its running game, cut down on penalties and did a much better job against the run.
Wes Goldberg explains why the Dolphins still showed progress despite the blowout—and why the bad moments were catastrophic enough to erase it. San Francisco went 5-for-5 in the red zone while Miami repeatedly settled for field goals or came away empty. The Dolphins moved the football. They just couldn’t finish.
