Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers were idle last week during the NFL's Wild-Card weekend, a reward for their regular-season performance. But one of Garoppolo's final acts of the season reportedly turned out to be costly.
Garoppolo threw a football into the stands after running the clock out in San Francisco's 26-21 victory over the Seahawks to win the division and clinch home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. But according to NBC Sports' Matt Maiocco, the NFL fined the 49ers' QB $7,017 for the action.
The league views the act of throwing a football into the stands as a safety issue.
