Jimmy Garoppolo pulls a Dan Orlovsky and costs 49ers a safety

It has been a big Sunday for infamy in the NFL.

First, the Miami Dolphins executed the butt-punt that led to a reaction from Mark Sanchez, the author of the butt-fumble.

Then, the 49ers’ Jimmy Garoppolo decided to pull a modified Dan Orlovsky by dropping back and stepping out of the back of the end zone, gifting the Denver Broncos 2 points on Sunday Night Football.

The play brought the Broncos within 7-5, more typical of a score in a Giants-Rockies game after about 5 innings at Coors Field.

Orlovsky, now an ESPN analyst, showed a sense of humor, recalling his 2008 gaffe.
