MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- When the Miami Dolphins made a goal-line tackle on the final play to seal their latest victory, quarterback Ryan Tannehill sprinted onto the field, leaped to chest-bump a teammate and then sprawled happily to the turf.Pardon Tannehill if the Dolphins winning streak has left him a little bit giddy. They made it six in a row by beating San Francisco 31-24 Sunday.It is exciting to be where were at, Tannehill said. Obviously you want to be playing meaningful games in December to get yourself playing in January and February, and weve done that.The Dolphins (7-4) are in the thick of the AFC wild-card race and building momentum in pursuit of their first playoff berth in eight years. A victory next Sunday at Baltimore would extend the winning streak to seven games, their longest since 1985.The Dolphins record is their best after 11 games since 2003. Theyve won four consecutive home games in the same season for the first time since 2002.The 49ers (1-10), by contrast, have lost a franchise-record 10 in a row since winning their opener.They all hurt, receiver Jeremy Kerley said. To get that close and come up short, you just think back on all the things you could have done better.Here are some things to know about two teams who continue to head in opposite directions:TANNEHILL TIME: Miami was missing three starters on the offensive line. With the ground game stymied, Tannehill beat the 49ers through the air.He went 20 for 30 for 285 yards and three touchdowns, ran for 34 yards and committed no turnovers. His quarterback rating of 130.6 matched the second-highest of his career.We find a way to win, Tannehill said. Thats the kind of team you want to have.During the winning streak, Tannehill has completed 68 percent of his passes with nine touchdown passes and one interception for a quarterback rating of 104.7.TURNOVERS: San Francisco lost a fumble at the Miami 16, and had a deflected pass intercepted to give the Dolphins the ball at the 49ers 26.When you lose the turnover battle, youre not going to win, San Francisco coach Chip Kelly said. We had two critical turnovers.Miamis Kiko Alonso came away with the ball both times. Hes the first Dolphins linebacker since at least 1993 to recover a fumble and intercept a pass in the same game.Alonzo -- the recipient of Tannehills postgame chest bump -- also led Miami with 12 tackles, and sandwiched Colin Kaepernick at the 2-yard line on the final play.People are going to say I had a big day, Alonso said. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.INJURIES: Miami WR DeVante Parker (lower back) left late in the third quarter but said afterward he was fine. Niners LB Shayne Skov (knee) and WR Quinton Patton (concussion) left with injuries, as did Miami DE Mario Williams (illness) and CB Lafayette Pitts (back).RARE ACHIEVEMENT: Adam Gase became only the third Miami coach to win six consecutive games, joining Don Shula and Nick Saban. Shula did it 11 times.Now weve got to reload, Gase said.UP NEXT: The Dolphins on Sunday visit the Baltimore Ravens (6-5), who are tied for the AFC North lead. The 49ers visit the Chicago Bears (2-9) on Sunday after spending the week practicing in Orlando, Florida.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL.---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.

Cheap Yeezys Ireland .C. -- Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Bobcats got off to a fast start, and the Sacramento Kings were never quite able to catch up.SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- DeShone Kizer was running to celebrate what he hoped would be the game-winning touchdown when he found himself grappling in a pile of bodies trying to recover a fumble with the score tied and two minutes left.The 6-foot-4, 230-pound junior somehow muscled his way to the ball after tight end Durham Smythe fumbled near the goal line, allowing Notre Dame to keep possession so Justin Yoon could kick a 23-yard field goal with 30 seconds left to give the Irish a 30-27 victory over Miami on Saturday.One of the things I was looking for from him wasnt whether he could run another dig route. We needed some more toughness from him, some mental toughness, coach Brian Kelly said. Thats an indication. He was not going to be denied. He was going to find a way to get that football.Kizer didnt sound as though he had a strong grasp of the ball, saying a Miami player was kicking it as he tried to get a grip.The refs came in and started yelling white and then I heard one blue and as soon as I heard one blue I let go of the ball to allow them to not see anymore. Because obviously that guy had one leg, all 10 fingers and maybe his chin on the ball, Kizer said.The victory ended a three-game losing home streak for the Irish (3-5), who rallied back after squandering a 20-point lead.Notre Dame outgained Miami 143-2 in total yards in jumping to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter and extended the lead to 20-0 early in the second quarter. But special teams turned it around for Miami.It began when Travis Homer recovered a punt after it bounced off Notre Dames Tony Pride Jr. and the Hurricanes scored four plays later on a 2-yard touchdown pass from Brad Kaaya to David Njoku.Miami scored on the opening possession of the second half and continued to rally.Everyone just let it cut loose at all positions, Kaaya said. The o-line played a little bit better and we were able to run the ball a little bit better, and that opened things up for me. We made good plays and guys finally woke up.The Hurricanes capped the 27-0 run when Miamis Michael Jackson recovered a botched punt in the end zone for the go--ahead touchdown with 6:49 left.dddddddddddd But the Hurricanes (4-4) couldnt finish it off.From that point on, Notre Dame pretty much took the game over, and we werent able to get the job done on either side of the ball, Miami coach Mark Richt said.The Irish tied the score less than a minute later when on third-and-1 Josh Adams bounced out of the pile and raced in for a 41-yard touchdown.There wasnt a belief, when I looked in the eyes of every one of those players, that they werent going to figure out and find a way to win, Kelly said.THE TAKEAWAYMiami: The Hurricanes, who gave up eight sacks against Virginia Tech, struggled along the offensive line early, and were held to a season-low 18 yards after being held to 42 yards rushing against the Hokies. The Hurricanes came up big on special teams with the recovery of a punt by Homer after it bounced off Pride to set up Miamis first touchdown, and a partially blocked punt by linebacker Zach McCloud that set up a field goal. Miami also recovered an onside kick.Notre Dame: The Irish finally had a game where their offense and defense played well but still struggled with special team gaffes. The Irish entered the game 125th in the nation in sacks with six in seven games, but sacked Kaaya five times.We do sack the quarterback here at Notre Dame. So for you guys that didnt think that that happened, we do sack the quarterback, Kelly said.SETTING THE TONEDefensive tackle Jarron Jones set the tone for the Irish, making three tackles for loss and deflecting a pass in the first five plays by Miami. Jones finished with seven tackles, including six for loss. The Irish finished with 12 tackles for loss, the most since they had 12 against Syracuse in 2005.UP NEXTMiami: The Hurricanes return to Atlantic Coast Conference play against Pittsburgh, a team it has beaten nine of the past 10 games.Notre Dame: The Irish face Navy in Jacksonville, Florida, a team it has beaten five straight after losing two of the previous three.
