George Kittle has never been shy about supporting his quarterback. Jimmy Garoppolo had some fun with Kittle when he had a shirt made with the tight end’s face on it, then left it in Kittle’s locker.
Kittle fired back with a shirt featuring a shirtless Garoppolo.
Kittle told media during his postgame press conference that Garoppolo gave him the shirt the same day he gave the quarterback the one with his face on it.
“Jimmy had a t-shirt with my face in his locker and he told (media) I sent it to him,” Kittle said. “I got this in my locker the same day, I just didn’t show you guys because I was saving it for a special occasion.”
An NFC championship is a pretty suitable special occasion. Kittle had just one catch for 15 yards in the win while Garoppolo threw just eight passes and completed six of them for 77 yards.
