It is very common for NFL players to make fashion statements. While sometimes these can go a bit too extravagant, most are able to pull off the look they intend to. And that was probably what San Francisco 49ers’ QB Jimmy Garoppolo had in mind when he showed up for the game in a rose-colored suit. What he probably didn’t expect to do was make Arizona Cardinals’ Colt McCoy look like an absolute train wreck in comparison.

In stark contrast to his opponent, McCoy walked in wearing a checkered shirt. That’s it. Nothing too flashy, nothing too eye-catching. But it nevertheless made him the subject of jokes, at least in the Twitter community. Fans made hilarious comparisons between McCoy and Garoppolo, and suggest interesting alternate careers.
Although some expected the simply dressed McCoy to beat the flashy-looking Garoppolo, the 49ers managed to overwhelmingly trounce the Cardinals, looting fans of potential meme content. Maybe Garoppolo was aiming to psychologically damage his rival QB?

Colt McCoy is an all American guy. Definitely changes his own motor oil. Would love to help build a new deck with you this summer.
Jimmy G cusses at the waiter when he bring him Perrier instead of San Pel like he specifically asked.
Hook’em

Colt McCoy looks like the Tupperware bowl after you finally washed out the week old Spaghetti.

Yeah but Colt McCoy gets the girl in the hallmark movie. The girl Jimmy G mistreated and took for granted

Colt has to wear his credentials on his neck to get into the stadium 😂😂😂😂

😂 😂 And he’s in and out of the house in 5 minutes and your wifi speed doubled. Jimmy G stays for 45 minutes talking to your wife about the shade of paint in the living room. Having said that SF: 42 Arizona: 16, and a divorce is near.

Jimmy G look like he just walked off the set of the bachelor, loved on by the women in the cast, and Colt looks like he just left a stressful ass household after being nagged all day to build a coffee table when he just wanted to rest before the game.

Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers get an epic win against Col McCoy’s Cardinals
The Cardinals-49ers clash in Mexico City was a happy affair for the San Francisco outfit and their fans in Mexico. Although the Cardinals managed to take the lead in the first quarter with a field goal, the 49ers pulled right back.
The Second quarter saw the 49ers outscore the Cardinals 17-7. And in the second half, the Cardinals managed to score a total of 0 points, while the 49ers went rampant to add another 21 to the tally. The game ended with the 49ers winning, 38-10.

Garropolo ended the night with 20/29 passes for 228 yards and 4 touchdowns, while McCoy had 24/34 for 218 yards and no touchdowns. Trace McSorley, who replaced McCoy when the game seemed lost, managed 6/10 for 59 yards. Both Cardinals’ QBs threw an interception each.
The win sees the 49ers claim the top spot in the NFC West with 6-4, while the Cardinals fall to 4-7. Playoff chances are looking very slim for the Cardinals, who now languish in 3rd behind the 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks. And with opponents such as the Los Angeles Chargers in their remaining games, things look very grim.

The Cardinals and the 49ers will face off once again in January, in what will be their last game of the season. By then, the 49ers’ playoff position would have been decided, that is, if the Seahawks don’t turn up to ruin their party.
