The game at Levi's Stadium saw the San Francisco 49ers take full advantage of their home turf, showcasing a balanced attack that kept the Dolphins' defense on its heels. The offense accumulated a total of 351 yards, with their passing game contributing significantly with 266 yards. Quarterback play was efficient as evidenced by a completion percentage of approximately 66 percent and two touchdown passes. Despite being sacked four times, they managed to maintain an average pocket time over two seconds.


The rushing efforts added another dimension to the game plan, as the team rushed for a total of 121 yards across 34 attempts. Although no touchdowns were recorded on the ground, six first downs were achieved through these efforts.


Special teams also played their part in securing field position and points; four successful field goals contributed twelve points to the scoreboard with one kick reaching as far as 48 yards.


Defensively, San Francisco was relentless. They forced three turnovers via interceptions and recovered one fumble which was returned for a touchdown. Additionally, they recorded three sacks for a loss of twenty yards and stopped one fourth-down attempt by Miami.


The fans witnessed excellent defensive plays including six passes defended and three instances where they forced Miami into three-and-outs. This defensive pressure limited Miami's scoring opportunities throughout the contest.


On special teams for San Francisco, punt returns yielded an average gain per return around seventeen yards which helped in setting up favorable field positions during critical junctures in the game.


While acknowledging Miami's effort is important – they did manage seventeen points against one of NFL’s top defenses – it was clear that day belonged to The San Francisco team who controlled possession time significantly longer than their opponents did.


Looking ahead after this commanding performance at home, The San Francisco fans can mark their calendars for December eleven when Levi's Stadium will host another exciting matchup against Tampa Bay Buccaneers at eight twenty-five PM local time (Pacific Time). This upcoming contest will be broadcasted live on FOX network where supporters can tune in to follow The San Francisco’s pursuit towards further victories this season.
