SANTA CLARA — Richard Sherman was ejected for fighting late in the fourth quarter of the team’s 14-9 loss to the Bears. But he just gained even more respect from his coach and teammates.
After the loss, Kyle Shanahan was very happy with the motives behind Sherman’s actions. While he would prefer his star cornerback didn’t get disqualified, Shanahan praised Sherman for having his teammate's back.
“I don’t know what happened over there,” Shanahan said. “Sherm was very clear to me he was trying to get his brother’s back, and I love for guys to do that as much as they can.
