Sheldon Richardson needed help -- and this time he asked for it.
In a nearly empty visitor's locker room at Ford Field Thursday night, he allowed a teammate to give him an assist. And Joe Mays was happy to oblige.
While a crowd of reporters and cameramen waited patiently for Richardson to begin his postgame interview, the Jets defensive tackle stood about 10 feet away, struggling to get his bow-tie on straight. That's when the linebacker waved his teammate over. And the meticulous Mays wouldn't allow Richardson to step in front of the cameras until he looked perfect.
