Dolphins' Jay Ajayi: Surprisingly stymied in Week 12 win

Ajayi gained just 45 yards but scored a touchdown on 18 carries while also hauling in one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over the 49ers.

Analysis:

Facing the worst rush defense in the league. Ajayi nevertheless found running room very much at a premium with three of his starting offensive lineman sitting out the contest. It was the second-year back's lowest rushing yardage total since Week 5 against the Titans, and his lowest YPC figure of the season overall. Ajayi will hope for improved health from his offensive line in anticipation of a showdown with the Ravens' elite run-stuffing front in Week 13.
