Predictions
It's tough to say that the Dolphins will have a shot against a team that handily beat the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1, but every time still has a chance.
The 49ers have a strong team despite their injuries, and Miami will need to play a very disciplined and tough brand of football to stand a chance. The issue is that the Dolphins are still growing and are likely not to have it all figured out yet.

More
The Dolphins are heading into this matchup at a loss already, as the team ruled out edge Chop Robinson, who suffered a concussion on Wednesday. With Robinson out, the pass rush has taken a sizable hit.
Miami's pass rush was near non-existent against the Raiders, and the same mistakes cannot be made against 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. Purdy is one of the cleanest and quickest passers, and he will make the Dolphins' defense pay if he has time in the pocket.
Running back De'Von Achane only managed 36 yards on the ground in Week 1. If the Dolphins stand any chance of beating San Francisco, they will need to ensure they get far more production from their back.
