Denver Broncos safety Justin Simmons thinks Jimmy Garoppolo may have been trying to win an Oscar on the first-quarter hit in Sunday's game that briefly took the Las Vegas Raiders quarterback off the field.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Simmons said Garoppolo did a "great acting" job to draw a 15-yard personal foul call.
The play occurred on the opening possession of the game with the Raiders facing a 3rd-and-7 at Denver's 19-yard line. Garoppolo scrambled for eight yards when he was being pulled to the ground by Broncos defensive end Frank Clark.
Simmons came in at the end of the play and appeared as if his shoulder hit Garoppolo in the helmet.
