We can only hope that Richard Sherman was wired for sound in the NFC championship game.
The Seattle Seahawks cornerback is at his swagtacular best when opponents test him and he wins. That wasn't in play when the Green Bay Packers played the Seahawks in Week 1; Green Bay literally never threw his way once. They weren't going to be scared of him in the NFC championship game. They threw his way once early in their first drive, and it fell incomplete. Then Aaron Rodgers tried again, throwing deep against Sherman in the end zone. And Sherman picked off his pass to Davante Adams.
So, maybe never testing Sherman was the best method after all.
Sherman, who also had an interception in last week's playoff game against the Carolina Panthers, is one of the most boisterous players in the NFL. Unfortunately for opponents who try to shut him up, he's also one of the best.
Surely, he had some interesting thoughts to share after the Packers tried him deep on the first drive of the game.
