INDIANAPOLIS – If the 49ers really are to become a scoring juggernaut this season behind Jimmy Garoppolo, he’ll need more help than what he got in Saturday’s third exhibition against the Colts.
Five of Garoppolo’s passes were dropped, including a potential touchdown strike to tight end Cole Hikutini. Actually, two other throws got dropped, and those should have been interceptions by linebacker Darius Leonard.
Coach Kyle Shanahan kept in Garoppolo and the starting offense through the first half and for the first series after halftime.
