Dolphins Defeat 49ers 29-17 to Keep Playoff Hopes Alive

De'Von Achane's standout performance highlights a balanced effort as Miami avoids elimination from postseason contention.

De'Von Achane led the Dolphins with 190 total yards and a 50-yard game-sealing touchdown, combining rushing and receiving contributions.
Miami's defense limited the 49ers to 81 rushing yards, continuing a strong streak of holding opponents to under 100 yards in eight of the last nine games.
Kicker Jason Sanders made all five of his field goal attempts, including a 54-yarder, extending his franchise-record streak to 23 consecutive made field goals.
San Francisco, already eliminated from playoff contention, struggled with penalties and missed opportunities, including a crucial missed field goal in the third quarter.
The Dolphins must win their final two games and rely on losses by the Chargers, Broncos, or Colts to secure a potential AFC wild-card spot.
