The San Francisco 49ers dominated the Miami Dolphins 35-13 on Sunday, showcasing an impressive opening performance. Quarterback Brock Purdy had a near-flawless game, completing 20 of 22 passes for 287 yards, including two touchdown passes. Running back Christian McCaffrey became the fourth-fastest player in the Super Bowl era by reaching 100 career touchdowns, achieving this milestone in just 114 games.
McCaffrey scored twice on one-yard runs, bringing his total to 100 touchdowns. The 49ers scored touchdowns on their first five drives, beginning with a 2-yard run by McCaffrey to kick off the scoring.
