49ers’ Jimmy Garoppolo blasted for throwing away NFC title game
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo entered Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams with a 4-1 career playoff record as a starter. He led San Francisco to two dramatic road wins in the playoffs leading up to the game.
With Super Bowl LVI against the Cincinnati Bengals on the line, it sure looked like Garoppolo was going to lead his 49ers to a second big game in three seasons.
The 49ers found themselves up 17-7 after Garoppolo threw a touchdown to George Kittle late in the third quarter.
This would prove to be Garoppolo’s final touchdown of the season (and potentially in a 49ers uniform). San Francisco’s offense struggled to do anything of substance in the final stanza, culminating in this absolutely brutal interception from Garoppolo with the 49ers down 20-17 late in the fourth quarter.
You have to see the pick to believe it.
