The Miami Dolphins prepare to face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2 of the NFL season today. The Dolphins are looking to bounce back after a 27-13 defeat to the Las Vegas Raiders on September 13. Jacob Rodriguez has emerged as a strong rookie contributor, ranking second in the NFL in tackles. Meanwhile, there is anticipation for Malik Willis to utilize his mobility more effectively in today's matchup.
