Perhaps the most notable statistic from Jimmy Garoppolo’s performance against the Chargers on Sunday Night Football won’t show up in a traditional box score. Garoppolo on Sunday tied his career-high in throwaways with three according to Pro Football Focus.
In an otherwise unspectacular night where he completed 18-of-29 throws for 240 yards with no touchdowns, Garoppolo also took just one sack and didn’t throw an interception. Several factors play into the lack of sacks and turnovers, but throwing the ball away plays a key role, and it’s not something the 49ers’ QB does often.
