The sideline reporter capped off the interview by asking the San Francisco 49ers quarterback how it feels to be 8-0.
"It feels great, baby," Garoppolo responded.
Garoppolo was asked about the interaction on Thursday during his weekly press conference.
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to blow up like that," Garoppolo responded. "It is what it is type of thing. But yeah, I was excited. 8-0, baby!"
Grant Cohn of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat asked if the response was because of a dare from his teammates or something.
"No. I say 'baby' like 500 times throughout a game, just to my teammates and stuff," Garoppolo answered while smiling. "It wasn't like that."
