49ers set franchise record with 10th straight loss

The latest edition was a 31-28 defeat to the Dolphins, who were headlined by quarterback Ryan Tannehill's three touchdown passes. The 49ers quarterback threw for 296 yards, three touchdowns and also had the second-most rushing yards (113) of his career. Trailing 31-24, Kaepernick drove the 49ers to Miami's six-yard line with two seconds left, but his last-play scramble came up two yards short as he was brought down by defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and linebacker Kiko Alonso. Kaepernick threw a one-yard touchdown to wideout Torrey Smith to trim the deficit to 31-21 midway through the fourth quarter. The crisp eight-play, 62-yard march featured six plays of at least six yards and was capped by Kaepernick's 11-yard screen pass to Carlos Hyde, who was untouched en route to his first career touchdown catch. Trailing 17-7, the 49ers answered with Kaepernick's four-yard touchdown pass to tight end Garrett Celek, a connection that capped a 91-yard drive. [...] Tannehill fired a 43-yard scoring strike to wideout Kenny Stills, who beat safety Antoine Bethea.
