The Miami Dolphins have a reputation, and it's one that even their own players - both current and former - have acknowledged and fans and media have complained about for years: that this Dolphins teams isn't tough enough to beat the better and more physical teams in the league.

The 49ers face the Dolphins on Sunday afternoon in Miami in a game featuring two teams who had high hopes for the season but have underwhelmed in 2024. Miami (6-8) sits ninth in the AFC entering Sunday, while the Niners have less than a 1% chance of making the playoffs after losing four of their last five games.

Miami avoided elimination by holding off the 49ers at home. The Dolphins still have slim playoff hopes with two games remaining.
