Pete Carroll says Seahawks could be stronger for fighting through Richard Sherman’s outburst Sunday

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll says he thinks his team learned some lessons from Richard Sherman's meltdown and the way Seattle rallied to beat Atlanta Sunday.

Next time — if there could really be a next time similar to Sunday — Seahawks coach Pete Carroll hopes Richard Sherman reacts just a little bit differently.

“Yeah, I would,’’ Carroll said, in reference to Sherman’s extended third-quarter sideline outburst following a blown coverage that led to a touchdown by Atlanta’s Julio Jones Sunday.

But a day later, Carroll preferred to focus on what happened next — the Seahawks steadying themselves to rally for a 26-24 win over the Falcons.
