Franchise Hub Beat · 7d ago

In a commanding performance, the San Francisco 49ers topped the Miami Dolphins 34-17 in Week 2 of the 2026 season. The 49ers, looking to solidify their place in the playoff race, delivered a strong showing against a Dolphins team that struggled to keep pace.

Colin Kaepernick was the standout star for San Francisco, throwing for 281 yards and three touchdowns while also adding 54 rushing yards to his impressive stat line. Braylon Edwards was Kaepernick’s favorite target, racking up 112 receiving yards and providing a consistent threat downfield. The offensive cohesion and effectiveness were evident, as the 49ers controlled the tempo and kept the Dolphins' defense on their heels.

Defensively, the 49ers were relentless, particularly in the second half where they turned the tide of the game. Donte Whitner's two interceptions proved pivotal, halting any momentum Miami hoped to build. Additionally, Robert Geathers' two sacks disrupted the Dolphins' offensive flow, with the game’s turning point coming midway through the third quarter when Whitner picked off a pass, setting up another touchdown that extended San Francisco’s lead.
