Overmatched for a second straight game, Dolphins must lean on small victories
Much of this season for the Miami Dolphins will be about small victories even if actual wins are hard to come by. Miami stayed close to the San Francisco 49ers for the first half on Sunday. But contending for four quarters with a star-studded roster featuring All-Pros like Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle and Nick Bosa was too hard a task for the young Dolphins.
Malik Willis has made good decisions overall and shown an ability to put the Dolphins in good positions but has been under constant pressure. The Dolphins will face Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs their home opener on Sunday.
