Sports World Reacts to Jimmy Garoppolo’s Dan Orlovsky Moment

In the midst of a sluggish affair against the Broncos on Sunday Night Football, 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo managed to go viral thanks to an ill-timed gaffe in the third quarter.

San Francisco began its second drive of the half on its own two-yard line following a booming 47-yard punt. On the second play of the series, Garoppolo dropped back to pass while standing in his own endzone but took one step too many and ended up stepping past the back line for a safety. The Niners eventually lost the game, 11–10.
