Broncos get a safety as 49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo steps out of the back of the end zone; Dan Orlovsky reacts

DENVER -- With their offense stuck in neutral for much of the evening, the Denver Broncos' defense had to chip in on the scoring Sunday night with a safety when San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was forced out of the back of the end zone in the third quarter.

Trailing 7-3 with just over 10 minutes remaining in the third quarter, and the 49ers in a second-and-10 at their own 2-yard line, Garoppolo dropped back under heavy pressure and stepped out of the back of the end zone before he threw.
