49ers score TDs on 1st 5 drives to beat the Dolphins 35-13

Christian McCaffrey reached a milestone by becoming the fourth-fastest player in the Super Bowl era to score 100 career touchdowns as the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Miami Dolphins 35-13. The 49ers, now 2-0, showed no signs of fatigue after their previous win against the Los Angeles Rams and made franchise history by starting the season with consecutive 20-point victories. Quarterback Brock Purdy delivered an impressive performance, completing 20 of 22 passes for 287 yards and contributing three touchdowns.
