Frank Gore passes 18 Dwight Clark Jersey ,000 career yards from scrimmage The Miami Dolphins earned a wild 31-28 d 4-2 looking to maintain pace with the New England Patriots in the AFC East. The Dolphins appeared to have that game sewn up in overtime, ready to rush for a game-winning touchdown, only to see Kenyan Drake fumble at the 1 yard line. However, the Bears missed a field goal from the Dolphins 35, and Miami was able to move the ball into Chicago territory and kick the game-winning field goal as overtime expired.The Dolphins won thanks in no small part to running back Frank Gore. The future Hall of Famer rushed for 101 yards and added an 18-yard reception. As noted by fellow Frank Gore fanatic Kyle Madson, Gore became the 6th player 35 years or older to surpass 100 rushing yards in a game.Gore’s durability in his NFL career has also pushed him to another career milestone. With his 119 total yards on Sunday, Gore surpassed 18,000 yards from scrimmage for his career. He now has 18,054 yards from scrimmage, and is only 136 yards back of Barry Sanders for sixth place on the all-time leaderboard. He is another 266 yards back of LaDanian Tomlinson for fifth place.Gore averaged 6.7 yards per carry on Sunday, and is averaging 4.88 yards per carry for the season. It is his highest rushing average since 2009, a season in which he rushed for 1,120 yards for the 49ers. He is splitting time with Kenyan Drake, but has been more effective than the 24-year old Drake. On the season, Gore has rushed 62 times for 303 yards Colin Kaepernick Jersey , while Drake has rushed 52 times for 210 yards (4.03 ypc).Not too shabby for an old man! San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman remained in a walking boot Thursday.However he was adamant that his strained left calf is not related to his other more serious leg problems of the past year.Sherman hurt his calf in the second quarter of Sunday’s loss at Kansas City and didn’t return. Team officials said he’ll miss at least two games, though Sherman said the only certainty was that he’d be sidelined for this Sunday’s road game against the Los Angeles Chargers.The three-time All-Pro missed the final seven games of last season after having surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon. But given that he also had surgery on his left Achilles during the offseason, Sherman was asked whether his current left leg injury might be connected to past issues.“It just makes it an easy story for you guys. Makes it lazy reporting,” Sherman said. “But nah, it’s getting back out there and going through the trials and tribulations of a season, wear and tear of football and taking all these reps after not taking them for eight months. Your body’s gotta get used to it again.”The 30-year-old Sherman missed a practice leading into the Chiefs game for what the team described as a “heel” issue, so he at least was on the injury radar even before Sunday.His absence is a damaging blow for a 49ers pass defense that ranks 27th in the NFL at 287.7 yards allowed per game. The Chargers enter Sunday ranked fifth in total offense (415.3 yards per game).Jimmie Ward, who has spent part of his career at safety, is expected to start in Sherman’s place. Second-year player Ahkello Witherspoon, who struggled two weeks ago against Detroit, likely will man the other cornerback spot.Compounding things is that both of San Francisco’s starting safeties, Adrian Colbert and Jaquiski Tartt, are battling injuries and their status is unknown for Sunday.But aside from health, the biggest issue for San Francisco’s defense has been poor tackling through the first three games. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said his unit is getting back to basics in practice, drilling on fundamentals even when the team is out of pads.“It’s very clear when you turn on the tape that we’re actually lunging and ducking our heads at the point of attack Tarvarius Moore Jersey ,” Saleh said. “When you teach tackling, everything that we talk about is you’ve got to run your body through their body.“Get a body on a body, step on their toes, wrap up, keep your feet moving, drive for five and get them to the ground.”The biggest culprits last Sunday were inside linebackers Reuben Foster and rookie Fred Warner, who missed six and four tackles respectively. Those two are believed to be a promising young core of the 49ers defense.But Sunday was Foster’s season debut after serving a two-game suspension. Saleh said Foster may have been knocking rust off, but the linebacker wasn’t letting himself off the hook.“That’s uncalled for, just missing tackles like that,” Foster said. “That’s not like us as a team and that’s not like me.”NOTES: Tartt (shoulder) missed Thursday’s practice as did guard Joshua Garnett (toe). Colbert (hip), running back Alfred Morris (knee) and guard Mike Person (knee) were limited. . Foster used “Roody-poo” in a quote earlier this week, a term made famous by “The Rock” during his wrestling days. Foster was delighted that the Hollywood star referenced it on Twitter. “It was amazing,” Foster said of the shout-out.<div class=”stanzacal” data-width=”100%” data-height=”250px” ></div> <script src=”https://dff2h0hbfv6w4.cloudfront.net/scr...stanzacal-v1.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
