Broncos 11, 49ers 10: Trent Williams injury, Jimmy Garopppolo gaffes mar loss
DENVER — Jimmy Garoppolo perilously dropped back to pass, then unwittingly stepped out of the back of the end zone for a safety. Stunningly, that wasn’t the worst thing to happen on that pivotal play for the 49ers in Sunday night’s 11-10 loss against the Denver Broncos.
One more Garoppolo blunder finished off the defeat: his daring pass to Deebo Samuel got deflected by safety Kareem Jackson and intercepted by ex-49ers linebacker Jonas Griffith near midfield with 2:06 remaining. That left time for one more turnover: Jeff Wilson Jr. fumbled a completion with 1:05 left.
Williams, a nine-time Pro Bowler, had his right leg hit by ex-49ers D.J. Jones, who was blocked into Williams by center Jake Brendel, all while Garoppolo was stepping on the end line. Garoppolo and the 49ers had no such luck on third down. They dropped to 0-for-9 on conversion attempts when Garoppolo sailed a third-and-3 pass incomplete and late to Samuel in the fourth quarter.
The 49ers’ defense did not let Denver capitalize off that turnover, however, and promptly forced a 3-and-out, though an ensuing punt pinned the 49ers at their 2.
