are facing the San Francisco 49ers (-4.5) this afternoon in a Week 13 inter-conference showdown. Most AFC versus NFC contests feature two teams who have not played each other in four years and really are not all that familiar with each other. That is definitely not the case when it comes to the Dolphins and 49ers.
First, they actually met just two years ago, with today’s game the additional inter-conference meeting that came with the addition of the 17th game in each season. Then, Miami head coach Mike McDaniel was the offensive coordinator for the 49ers last year, and has spent most of his career as an assistant to 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan.
