After a sharp first half, three big mistakes by Jimmy Garoppolo helped Dallas get back in the game. The 49ers overcame those errors and won anyway.
A week after Jimmy Garoppolo saved the 49ers, the 49ers saved Jimmy Garoppolo.
It was a game the 49ers had under control, or so it appeared, with a 23-7 lead with 5:50 left in the third quarter and the Cowboys getting buried against a physical opponent combined with the weight of their own mistakes. It was within Garoppolo’s power to put the Cowboys out of their misery. Instead, he extended an invitation for Dallas to rejoin the game with three big mistakes that could have doomed the 49ers.
If Garoppolo sticks the pass, it would have put the 49ers right back in scoring position with 2:31 to play in the quarter. He missed it. By a lot. Flashbacks to the missed post to Emmanuel Sanders in Super Bowl LIV against Kansas City were impossible to avoid.The next mistake could have been his farewell to the franchise assuming Trey Lance takes over as expected next season.
