Statistical Breakdown: How the Dolphins and 49ers stack up before Week 13

The Miami Dolphins are hitting the road after a home win against the Houston Texans to take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium, as Mike McDaniel’s team looks to improve their record to 9-3.

Miami enters this weekend just percentage points behind the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East due to their Thursday night victory over the New England Patriots. A victory for the Dolphins would put them back in the top spot.

For San Francisco, head coach Kyle Shanahan is looking to defeat his former protege in McDaniel, who has a number of contributors from 49ers teams of the past in South Florida. With Nick Bosa and company going against a depleted Miami offensive line, they could cause some trouble for one of the league’s top offenses.

Here’s how the Dolphins and 49ers stack up statistically going into Sunday:
