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.

Andrew DePaola Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.Tim Beckman, who was fired as the?Illinois?football coach last year following a school investigation that found he mistreated players, is now a volunteer coach on defense for?North Carolina, a school official confirmed Wednesday.Beckman was fired by the Fighting Illini on Aug. 28, 2015, after the investigation concluded that the coach influenced medical decisions and pressured players to play hurt.In April, Beckman settled a wrongful termination lawsuit against the school for $250,000.Beckman has a working history with Tar Heels coach Larry Fedora, as both were assistant coaches on Oklahoma States staff in 2007.Speaking after Wednesday evenings practice, Fedora described the decision as helping a friend while also gaining Beckmans expertise as a former head coach and defensive coordinator.Let me make something clear so everybody understands: Im the one that sets the expectations on our culture and how our student-athletes are treated, Fedora said. Im at the top, I set it for everybody.So Tims here doing what the NCAA allows him to do as a volunteer assistant: studying film, scouting, all those kind of things. And so Im glad were able to give him this opportunity until hes able to find employment.North Carolina team spokesman Kevin Best said Wednesday in an email to The Associated Press that Beckman can scout and evaluate film. He can interact with players but cannot instruct them as a coach.dddddddddddd.Fedora said he conferred with athletic director Bubba Cunningham before bringing Beckman on as a volunteer assistant at the start of training camp.If I wouldnt have known Tim, it may not have happened, Fedora said.Asked about the perception of bringing Beckman into the program, Fedora responded: I dont believe everything I read, all right? I know Tim. I know his side of the story also. So I was comfortable with it.If I wouldnt have been, obviously I wouldnt have brought him. I wouldnt allow him to be in our program, but I was very comfortable with it. I dont have any issues with it at all.Beckman went 12-25 in three years as Illinois coach -- and just 4-20 in Big Ten play. The Illini made a bowl game in Beckmans final season, losing to Louisiana Tech in the Zaxbys Heart of Dallas Bowl.A school investigation into Beckmans program was launched following Twitter allegations from former Illinois offensive lineman Simon Cvijanovic in May 2015.Fedora said rules allow Beckman to be on the sideline for games or travel with the Tar Heels this season, but he said no decisions have been made on whether that will happen.
