The Miami Dolphins turned their season around with a five-game winning streak and are in the mix for an AFC playoff berth.The San Francisco 49ers havent registered a victory since Sept. 12 and are hoping to avoid a new low in franchise futility.Its a tale of two teams heading in different directions as San Francisco attempts to sidestep a franchise-record 10th consecutive defeat when it visits the streaking Dolphins on Sunday (1 p.m. ET, FOX).The 49ers (1-9) were victorious in Chip Kellys debut as coach but the season quickly unraveled. San Francisco gave up a combined 83 points over its next two games and allowed an average of 34.8 points during the nine-game skid.The run of defeats matches the 1978 49ers for the clubs worst stretch of single-season setbacks. But quarterback Colin Kaepernick is putting on the brave face and citing that all is not lost.We still have an opportunity to win games, Kaepernick said. Thats what we have to stay focused on and take it one week at a time. There is that feeling out there that were not going to be in the playoffs, but we still have an opportunity to do some good things and build on for next year.Miami (6-4) feared its own dreadful campaign when it opened the season with four defeats in five games under first-year coach Adam Gase.The Dolphins then tinkered with the offense and began feeding the football to second-year running back Jay Ajayi. They havent lost since and stand one game behind the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs for the final AFC wild-card spots.Ajayi rushed for 685 yards during the winning streak -- including topping 200 yards in consecutive games -- and suddenly ranks tied for sixth in the NFL with 802 yards.The emerging star nicknamed the J-Train could be in for another big game Sunday as San Francisco ranks last in the NFL in rushing defense at 179.5 yards per game.Perhaps the bigger element in terms of slowing down Ajayi might be the health of his own offensive line.Pro Bowl center Mike Pouncey (hip) will miss the game and Pro Bowl left tackle Branden Albert (wrist) is doubtful. Standout rookie guard Laremy Tunsil (shoulder) missed the second half of last Sundays 14-10 victory over the Los Angeles Rams and is listed as questionable.Meanwhile, quarterback Ryan Tannehill has adapted to Gases run-based approach and has thrown for six touchdowns against one interception during the winning streak.His offense is really fun to play in, does a lot of things to help a quarterback, Tannehill said on a conference call. Just his knowledge -- being around all the quarterbacks he has -- hes learned so much and can help you in so many ways.Interestingly, Gase was close to a deal to become the 49ers coach following the 2014 season but San Francisco decided to hire Jim Tomsula.Tomsula went 5-11 in one season before being fired while Gase became the offensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears. He cites the interview experience with the 49ers as a big help toward landing the Miami gig this past winter.It made it so much easier for myself when I went through that next round the year afterwards to know what to expect and understand the process of that second interview, Gase said on a conference call.Instead, it is Kelly dealing with San Franciscos situation and another hit occurred this week when free safety Eric Reid underwent season-ending surgery for a torn bicep suffered in Sundays 30-17 loss to the New England Patriots.Reid (81 tackles) will be replaced by second-year pro Jaquiski Tartt on the unit that ranks last in the NFL in both scoring defense (31.3) and total defense (431.3 yards per game).The 49ers also rank near the bottom of the league in total offense (30th at 309.6) while averaging 20.4 points per game. Kelly committed toward Kaepernick as the starting quarterback for the rest of this season and promises that his squad hasnt quit.They practice well, they want to win, theyre engaged, Kelly said. Theyre not excited about where we are now in terms of what weve done win-loss wise. Weve got to go back to work. Thats the only thing you can do in this situation.Miami defensive end Cameron Wake, who has a team-leading 7 1/2 sacks, had a big outing in 2012 when the Dolphins and 49ers last met. Wake recorded three sacks and a forced fumble but San Francisco prevailed 27-13. Aaron Gordon Jersey . Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. Timofey Mozgov Jersey . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama. http://www.magicauthentic.com/kids-terrence-ross-magic-jersey/ . Three came down to the fourth quarter while quarterbacks continued to shine in all four games; so important to the overall quality of the game. Dwight Howard Jersey . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second. Nikola Vucevic Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. As if Toronto FC wasnt dangerous enough, it enters Saturdays home match against the Philadelphia Union with forward Jozy Altidore in exceptional form.Following his late July return from a hamstring injury, the 26-year-old U.S. international star has scored seven goals in his last seven matches, including a pair in Torontos 3-3 draw with the New York Red Bulls Sunday.Hes just proving what we all knew about him before this stretch, Toronto coach Greg Vanney told The Toronto Sun after Altidores goals helped the Reds hold onto the Eastern Conference lead entering this weekend.He was very, very good before he got injured, Vanney added. He just didnt have the goals to show for it.Toronto (13-8-8, 47 points) already possesses the leagues most influential attacker in the Italian Giovinco (16 goals, 13 assists). If Altidore continues to score and stay healthy, that could make his team decisive favorites when the MLS Cup Playoffs begin next month.While the Reds are virtually assured of a second consecutive postseasson berth, Philadelphia has work to do to clinch its first playoff spot since 2011.ddddddddddddhe Union (11-11-8, 41) enter Saturdays match in fourth place despite two losses and a draw in their last three matches. More importantly, they sit seven points ahead of D.C. United and Orlando City for the sixth and final playoff spot, though both those sides enter the weekend with a game in hand.Would we like to have a few more (points)? Absolutely, coach Jim Curtain told the Philadelphia Inquirer at his midweek press conference. But at the same time, weve set ourselves up in a very good position right now. We control our own destiny and thats a good position to be in.Union leading scorer Chris Pontius first goal in six matches -- and 11th overall -- couldnt prevent a 2-1 loss at the Portland Timbers last Saturday. Philadelphia has lost each of its last four matches against Toronto. ' ' '
