The last time we heard a Richard Sherman meltdown, it was of the celebratory and validating variety, as he shouted through an interview with Erin Andrews after a Seahawks victory in the NFC championship game. Sherman had a tantrum of a different variety on Sunday, shouting at and shoving teammates, getting into six-inch stare downs and huffing and puffing like he’d just heard someone compliment Michael Crabtree.
It all came after a rare miscommunication in the Seahawks secondary, one which freed up Julio Jones for a 36-yard touchdown pass that got the Atlanta Falcons back in their NFC showdown in Seattle.
