Kaepernick stopped at 2 as Dolphins beat 49ers 31-24
He has completed 115-of-208 passes for 1,440 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions.
Colin Kaepernick threw three touchdown passes, ran for 113 yards and almost rallied the woeful San Francisco 49ers from a 17-point deficit in the final eight minutes Sunday, which left a lot to talk about afterward.
Nine touchdown passes and one interception, that’s what Tannehill has produced during the six-game win streak, and that covers games where Ajayi topped 200 rushing yards and games where he never got going, like Sunday’s 45 yards on 18 carries against the 49ers. They’ve got good players over there. The defense helped key the comeback by forcing three-and-outs on Miami’s last two drives, and S.F. forced a punt after the Dolphins started a drive at the 49ers’ 24 in the third quarter.
This time, however, two Dolphins defenders closed in quickly, leaving the 49ers quarterback two yards short of the goal line and his team with a 31-24 loss.
The 49ers nearly got there.
“If someone just makes the slightest error, he’s able to get into the open field”, Dolphins coach Adam Gase said.
Follow along as we bring you live updates and analysis from the game from kickoff through the final whistle in the comments section below. They committed one in the fourth quarter Sunday, their first of the season.
A three-touchdown, almost 300 yards passing, and 133 yards rushing with only one turnover kind of good. Such as the incremental improvement from quarterback Colin Kaepernick and in the run defense, which has struggled throughout the season. Kaepernick wanted to focus on Malcolm X, but when pressed by Salguero, he pointed out Cuba’s investment in education and universal health care.
Browns quarterback Josh McCown, back in the lineup after rookie Cody Kessler sustained his second concussion last week, finished with 322 yards passing and threw a TD pass to rookie Corey Coleman (see full recap).
Tight end Dion Sims and wide receiver Kenny Stills also had touchdown catches for the Dolphins, and Jay Ajayi scored on a 2-yard run. “There’s nothing you can really do to simulate playing in a game, especially for a quarterback because a quarterback is not going to get hit in practice. I thought I saw it. Kiko did a great job of recovering, coming back and making a play”.
TANNEHILL TIME: Miami was missing three starters on the offensive line.
Anthony Steen is starting at center, Kraig Urbik at left guard and Sam Young at left tackle.
That said, while it’s highly unlikely that anyone would pay him more than San Francisco, Kaepernick might want to test the marketplace this offseason – it is his prerogative now.
Because again, this is a game that the Dolphins would have lost past year. Moreover, the 49ers played in Miami today.
Tannehill put the Dolphins ahead to stay with his 100th touchdown pass in his fifth National Football League season, and Carroo’s first career touchdown made it 31-14 with 11:31 left.
