RENTON, Wash. — Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman confirmed he’s been fined by the NFL for unnecessary roughness for his hit on Buffalo kicker Dan Carpenter in last Monday’s game against the Bills.
Sherman said Thursday that the explanation and wording of the letter from the league makes it nearly impossible for him to appeal. Sherman said the league’s justification in the letter was that the hit came after the whistle was blown.
Sherman said he won’t appeal the fine.
Sherman was not penalized for unnecessary roughness on the play.
