  "account": "On Sunday afternoon, the Miami Dolphins faced the San Francisco 49ers in a Week 2 contest. Quarterback Malik Willis, a rookie, had an inconsistent performance. In the second quarter, Willis showcased his arm strength with a successful pass to Malik Washington for 23 yards. Later, he connected with Caleb Douglas to convert a first down in the 49ers' red zone. However, Willis struggled with accuracy, throwing high for Washington near the end of the first drive. His decision-making came under scrutiny as he took multiple sacks in the first half, totaling at least nine sacks in the two games. Despite his mobility, Willis only managed a four-yard run for a first down. Overall, Willis received a C+ for the game, with the Dolphins' offensive struggles evident throughout.",
