Kittle borrowed the jersey for the interview from linebacker Elijah Lee.
In case you missed it, Kittle also paid homage to Sanders on his 85-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Nick Mullens during the second quarter. You can watch the play below.
"[Deion's] a guy that I know loves to play football, and he has the most fun playing it," Kittle told reporters after the game.
Sunday's win was just the 49ers' third of the season. The season has not gone as planned but, like last year, the team has an opportunity to do some damage down the stretch. San Francisco damaged the Broncos' playoff hopes on Sunday.
"I feel like adversity builds character and it shows character," Kittle told Sanders during the interview. "I think this team has definitely come together. We haven't given up on anything, and we're going to try to close out this season with some dubs and ruin some playoff hopes for some teams."
