The Miami Dolphins improved to 7-8 with a 29-17 win against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16 that kept their playoff hopes alive for another week. While it's still an uphill climb with a small chance of coming to fruition,

The Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers both entered 2024 with Super Bowl hopes. For the Dolphins, an influx of veterans was supposed to shepherd the team to postseason success after back-to-back first round exits. For the 49ers, a squad with two Super Bowl losses and two NFC Championship losses in five years expected to be in the mix yet again.

Tua Tagovailoa threw for 215 yards and a touchdown, Jason Sanders nailed five field goals, and the Miami Dolphins kept their playoff chances alive by beating the San Francisco 49ers 29-17 on Sunday.
