Richard Sherman had a good game on Monday night in the San Francisco 49ers 31-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns, but on Tuesday he was in the news again for what he said, not what he did.
Sherman first accused Baker Mayfield of spurning his pre-game Monday Night Football handshake in Michael Silver’s article on Tuesday, but following the posting of video that disproves this on social media, the former Seattle Seahawks cornerback has since backtracked on his initial claims.
After the win, in which Mayfield went 8/22, throwing two picks (once to Sherman) and fumbling once, Sherman spoke to Silver on his first version of events:
“What’s amazing, and annoying, was him not shaking hands at the beginning,” Sherman said.
