49ers Score TDs on 1st 5 Drives to Beat the Dolphins 35-13
- On Sunday, September 20, 2026, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Miami Dolphins 35-13 at Levi's Stadium, with quarterback Brock Purdy leading touchdown drives on each of the team's first five possessions.
- Physicality gaps and offensive inefficiencies plagued the rebuilding Dolphins, who settled for two red-zone field goals in the first half while struggling to sustain drives against San Francisco's dominant defense.
- Quarterback Brock Purdy completed 20 of 22 passes for 287 yards with two touchdowns, while running back Christian McCaffrey scored twice to reach 100 career touchdowns in just 114 games, faster than all but three Super Bowl era players.
- Despite the dominant victory, San Francisco lost multiple contributors to injury when wide receiver DeMarcus Robinson exited on a cart in the second quarter with an ankle issue.
- The 49ers visit the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday, while the Dolphins return home to host the Kansas City Chiefs in their respective upcoming matchups.
