Once again led by quarterback Ryan Tannehill on offense and a gutsy goal-stand in the final ticks of the ballgame, the Miami Dolphins were able to hold off the San Francisco 49ers, 31-24, and extended their win streak to six games. The win improves the Dolphins record to 7-4 on the 2016 NFL season and this squad continues to state its case as legitimate playoff contenders in the AFC.
In the current AFC East standings, the Dolphins trail the (9-2) New England Patriots by two games. In the AFC Wild Card race, Miami is currently in the second Wild Card spot after the Chiefs beat the Broncos on Sunday Night Football.
