...Everyone know that Wrong-way Corrigan became famous for running the wrong way and scoring a safety on his own team. What current player scooped up a fumble in a game against the 49ers and ran the wrong...

In a similar situation in another 49ers game, Verna was so confident that Brodie would throw to Washington that...
