SAN DIEGO — Miami Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso couldn’t have played his first career pick-6 any better.

It was the highlight play of his career so far, and left the San Diego Chargers stunned, again.

Alonso deked Philip Rivers into thinking he was going to cover a slot receiver, then broke off, jumped in front of receiver Tyrell Williams for an interception and outraced everyone 60 yards to the end zone with 1:01 left to give the Dolphins a 31-24 victory Sunday.

“I mean, that’s my first touchdown on defense ever, like high school, college,” said Alonso. “I felt good.”

The Dolphins (5-4) intercepted Rivers four times in a 13-minute span in the fourth quarter and won their fourth straight game.

Rivers’ 51-yard touchdown pass to Williams with 4:04 left gave the Chargers (4-6) a 24-21 lead.

The 49ers (1-8) lost their eighth in a row despite a strong game by quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who tied it 20-20 on a 4-yard run with 1:55 remaining.

That was enough time for Carson Palmer to gain redemption after three second-half turnovers, the last an interception by Gerald Hodges that led to the tying touchdown. Palmer completed 4 of 7 passes for 64 yards, including a leaping 26-yard grab by Michael Floyd, as the Cardinals drove from their 15 to the San Francisco 16 to set up the winning kick.
