NBC on Yahoo SportsRichard Sherman unloads on Pierre Garçon after Seahawks win over Redskins
Richard Sherman is never shy to voice his opinion, and after his Seahawks delivered a 27-17 loss to the Washington Redskins, Sherman unloaded on Redskins receiver Pierre Garçon. Throughout the Monday night game it seemed Sherman and Garçon were exchanging words, and asked about the situation after the game, the vocal defensive back did not hold back.
"Pierre doesn't matter in this league," Sherman said. Asked to clarify his comments, Sherman replied, "I mean exactly what I said."
Garçon was held to two catches for 23 yards against Seattle, and it appears he may have even pulled Sherman's long hair at one point during the game.
"Yeah," Sherman said when asked if Garçon pulled his hair. "Pierre did a few things. When you can't get open, you got to do whatever you can. The crowd is acting like I'm holding him. Obviously the TV copy you can see what happened."

Sherman did offer some praise of Redskins receiver DeSean Jackson - the two are long-time friends - who had a big game. Jackson at times looked like the only threat for Washington's offense, and he delivered with five catches for 157 yards and a touchdown.
"He's going to get a couple, he's a a Pro Bowl receiver," Sherman said of Jackson. "We didn't allow anybody else to get much."
When Jackson brought home a long touchdown in the first half, it looked like Sherman was out of position on the play. That was not the case, according to Sherman at least.
"It was a bad call for the play that they ran. Our coordinator tried to get exotic and they had the perfect play for it," he said. "They ran the perfect play."
