Kurtenbach: The 49ers’ loss to the Dolphins was the perfect encapsulation of an imperfect season

If you were blessed to miss the first 15 games of the 49ers’ 2024 campaign, San Francisco gave you a Cliff Notes version of it Sunday in Miami.

The 29-16 loss to the Dolphins perfectly encapsulated the season: statistically strong but fundamentally rotten.

On Sunday, the Niners averaged more yards per play than the Miami offense. The San Francisco defense held Miami to 4-of-12 on third downs and only one red-zone touchdown in three tries.

Check a spreadsheet, and the Niners did well.

It’s too bad football isn’t played on a spreadsheet.
