The 49ers return from dominating win in Australia to take on the Dolphins in home opener
The San Francisco 49ers, who recently dominated the Los Angeles Rams 27-7 in Australia, will face their biggest challenge of the season when they take on the Miami Dolphins in their home opener. The Dolphins, who are the biggest favorites to win the Super Bowl this season, won their Week 1 opener against the Las Vegas Raiders 27-13.
The 49ers will rely on star players including Kyle Shanahan, Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Mike Evans, Nick Bosa, and Trent Williams. The Dolphins, under first-year coach Jeff Hafley, will hope to improve upon their rookie-heavy performance in Week 1. The 49ers aim to start their season with a 2-0 record, a feat they achieved in four of the previous five seasons under Shanahan.
