At first, the San Francisco 49ers were actually relieved that Jimmy Garoppolo stepped out of his own end zone for a safety.
It negated Bradley Chubb's go-ahead pick-6 and left the Niners clinging to a 7-5 lead over the Broncos in the third quarter Sunday night.It was one of several miscues in Garoppolo's first game in place of injured starter Trey Lance, who broke an ankle in Week 2.
On second-and-10 at his own 2 midway through the third quarter, Garoppolo back-pedaled in his end zone to buy some time and simply ran out of room, planting his right foot on the white paint and unleashing a pass toward the Broncos' sideline. Orlovsky, now an analyst for ESPN, posted on his Twitter account:"IVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER ... FFFFREEEEEDDDOOOMMMM."
