'Freedom!': Ex-Detroit Lions QB Dan Orlovsky celebrates Jimmy G's Sunday night gaffe

In case there was any doubt if misery likes company, just ask Dan Orlovsky.

The former Detroit Lions quarterback-turned-ESPN analyst now has company on infamous play.

Orlovsky, who spent 12 years as an NFL quarterback including two stints with the Lions (2005-08, 2014-16), went viral late Sunday evening after celebrating Jimmy Garoppolo making one of the biggest gaffes of his professional career.

The San Francisco 49ers faced second-and-10 from their own 2-yard line against the Denver Broncos during Sunday Night Football when Garoppolo faked the handoff and dropped back for a play-action pass. With the Broncos pass rush bearing down on him, Garoppolo continued to drop back and throw a check down pass to the left side of the field.
