Miami Dolphins-San Francisco 49ers: The Five Biggest Plays

The Miami Dolphins dropped to 8-4 on the season with their 33-17  loss against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday.

We rank the five biggest, most important, plays of the game:

1. The Fourth-Down Incompletion

After not looking particularly impressive for a good part of the game — with the exception of the 75-yard TD pass on the first play — the Dolphins found themselves in position to take the lead midway through the fourth quarter. After converting a fourth-and-1 from their own 19 — yes, it was a Brandon Staley-like call by Mike McDaniel — the Dolphins faced a fourth-and-2 from the 49ers 36-yard line. They clearly were going for it and it appeared they had converted when the officials gave them a 3-yard reception by Mike Gesicki at the sideline. And who knows what would have happened had 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan not challenged the ruling, which clearly was wrong upon review.
