NFL fans all had Dan Orlovsky jokes after Gardner Minshew stepped out of the end zone for a safety

Dan Orlovsky Gardner Minshew NFL Jimmy G Jimmy Garoppolo

Every week, NFL quarterbacks manage to remind us of the atrocious hair-pulling play they’re capable of. But the arguably worst position to be in is channeling former long-time backup Dan Orlovsky — who once infamously stepped out of bounds in the end zone for a safety.

The Indianapolis Colts’ Gardner Minshew has now joined this notorious club.

As the Colts tried to mount a road comeback against the Baltimore Ravens, Minshew found himself trying to mount a drive from Indianapolis’s own end zone. And when he finished his drop back on a third-and-long play, Minshew seemed to forget he didn’t have all that much room to work with — to disastrous results.

The veteran backup clearly stepped out of bounds and gifted the Ravens a safety, which ended up being crucial in a 19-19 affair that went to overtime.

After Jimmy Garoppolo joined this club last year, Orlovsky was no longer alone in his embarrassment anyway. But the NFL analyst still celebrated Minshew adding his own unfortunate lack of awareness to his resume:

Good for Orlovsky. You knew, eventually, he wouldn’t be the only person to have that end-zone safety blemish on their rap sheet.

This was how Twitter reacted to Minshew channeling Dan Orlovsky
