The 49ers were in a gift-giving mood in Miami, giving away the game to the Dolphins 29-17. 11 penalties included one flag that took away a likely touchdown, and Brock Purdy threw a game-losing pick in the final two minutes.

The defending NFC champion San Francisco 49ers were eliminated from the playoffs before their game at Miami began on Sunday because of victories by Washington and the Los Angeles Rams.

The 49ers face the Dolphins on Sunday afternoon in Miami in a game featuring two teams who had high hopes for the season but have underwhelmed in 2024. Miami (6-8) sits ninth in the AFC entering Sunday, while the Niners have less than a 1% chance of making the playoffs after losing four of their last five games.
