The San Francisco 49ers were officially eliminated from the playoffs last weekend, losing 29-17 to the Miami Dolphins to fall to 6-9 on the season.
It was another mistake-filled game for the 49ers, who have really struggled to close out games and capitalize on opportunities in 2024.
While there were many chances that San Francisco missed out on, the turning point seemed to be early in the third quarter when the 49ers had a chance to potentially take the lead down 16-10.
On their first possession of the second half, the 49ers drove all the way down to the two-yard line, but an illegal formation penalty killed a third-down conversion, instead eventually setting up a 41-yard field goal attempt that kicker Jake Moody missed.
