The Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers met on Sunday afternoon at Levi’s Stadium for a Week 13 matchup between two teams on winning streaks, but it was Kyle Shanahan’s squad that extended their’s another week.
Miami had a few pop plays, including long touchdowns to Trent Sherfield and Tyreek Hill, but they were stagnant for most of the game due to Tua Tagovailoa’s inaccuracy and a reluctance to run the ball.
Defensively, the Dolphins were beaten by seventh-round rookie Brock Purdy, who looked better than expected in Shanahan’s quarterback-friendly system. He relied heavily on running back Christian McCaffrey, who put up an impressive performance in both the rushing and receiving game.
Here’s how Dolphins fans reacted throughout and after the contest:
Trent Sherfield is that guy. #FinsUp
Lowkey didn’t know he had jets like that 🤣🤣

Whatever Dolphins LB is on McCafrey in the passing game is gonna be a tough ask all afternoon

And the defense did amazing on that first drive! Held to a field goal, almost an interception, a sack by Baker/Phillips, containing the run, pressuring the QB!

What an absolute joke of a call. That was not pass interference on Kader Kohou. Good defense, Kader. #MIAatSF

Tua is tight.. Needs to relax.

Pay Christian Wilkins, now

Thankful Tyreek Hill is on my team

Why are Alec Ingold and Jeff Wilson blocking Nick Bosa???

That’s the best X has looked all year. Huge INT!

49ers mediocre O looking like putting up 500 yards on our D. When will someone sack Boyer???

I remember when people were upset we signed a “washed up” Ingram

Wasn't on Tua, imo. Jeff Wilson just inexplicably collapsed when breaking off his route. https://t.co/0TRDHSTO47

This one is on Tua. I'm ok with him having a bad week after what he has done this season, but he needs to come out firing next week.

What a throw Tua, Tyreek Hill is such a cheat code
— 🇨🇩🇸🇱 (@8Flavs) December 4, 2022
PLEASE JUST CUT MIKE GESICKI
— Justin (8-3) (@ffsBenfica) December 4, 2022
This Dolphins defense is giving up too many yards after contact. Has to stop immediately. #FinsUp
— Adam (@awilhelm1528) December 5, 2022
I have no faith in this dolphins defense
— Kevin Rogers (@marino13882) December 5, 2022
Smart to pull Tua, back up OTs and the 49ers are going to pin their ears back at this point. Protect your players and move on to next week. #FinsUp
— Pete Tatro (@PeteTatro) December 5, 2022
That’s what going to happen when you have guys off the street tryna block nick bosa. Bad bad day out west. Regroup and move on
— Thomas McCloughan (@sports_tommy) December 5, 2022
and ofc skylar thompson puts the icing on the cake with a pick 🥴
— jorgie 🪐 (@saintjorgie) December 5, 2022
People actually thought Skylar Thompson is good too.

Road games always tough especially across the country whole other coast road game. we will bounce back . Still let’s go dolphins
— dave pein (@MrPein13) December 5, 2022
Tua played maybe his worst game as a Dolphin today. He missed so many throws today. Oh well. Maybe get back to winning next week. #MIAvsSF
— Michael D. Teems Jr. (@michaelteemsjr) December 5, 2022
Tua had his worst game of the year, turns out he’s human. Dolphins will be fine, deep breath everyone.
— Hawk (@HawkinsTJ) December 5, 2022
Everyone call down… this was always going to be tough, the niners are a really good team and we still stayed with them, barring a refs call with Mike it could of been very different!
We move on and I love my Dolphins 🐬
If there was a game to lose it was today
TBC…
