SEATTLE -- As cornerback Richard Sherman came off the field Sunday in the third quarter of the Seattle Seahawks' win over the Atlanta Falcons, he chucked his helmet to the sideline and exploded on anyone who was nearby.
It appeared Sherman's outburst was first directed at defensive coordinator Kris Richard. Teammates Michael Bennett, Kam Chancellor and Bobby Wagner tried to calm him down, but they had little success. The Seahawks had just allowed Julio Jones to run free down the left sideline for a 36-yard touchdown, and Sherman was heated.
