During the Seahawks-Lions telecast Saturday night, NBC played the video of Richard Sherman’s sideline blowup from back in October. Viewers saw the passionate superstar turn volatile, yelling at coordinator Kris Richard and getting nose to nose with Kam Chancellor.

This happened in Seattle’s narrow Week 6 home win over the Falcons. Sherman’s anger stemmed from the blown coverage that occurred on Julio Jones’s 36-yard touchdown. Shortly after that, there was a very similar blown coverage on tight end Levine Toilolo’s 46-yard TD.
