Seattle Seahawks Pro Bowl cornerback Richard Sherman took to his Twitter account after the San Diego Chargers allegedly said he was "exposed" after their 30-21 Week 2 victory over the defending Super Bowl Champions.
After Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen came out and said that he felt Sherman was a "normal" cornerback following Sunday's game, Sherman took to Twitter after apparently hearing that some of San Diego's players were saying he was exposed:
Allen had five receptions for 55 yards in San Diego's big home win at Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday afternoon and while he failed to reach the end zone, he wasn't all too impressed with Sherman. "He's just a normal guy," Allen said of Sherman, according to ESPN. "We can go at him. We took some shots at him. We are not going to shy away from him. He's not really a shutdown corner. We definitely wanted to come out and show we could go any way we wanted to and that we were in control of the game."
San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers was unofficially 5-for-5 for 60 yards when targeting receivers that were being covered by Sherman, ESPN reports, while he officially finished the day 28-of-37 overall for 284 yards with no interceptions and three touchdowns -- all to tight end Antonio Gates.
Malcom Floyd -- who had no catches and was only targeted once -- said he believed Allen got the better of Sherman throughout the afternoon.
"Keenan was lighting up Sherman,'' Floyd told reporters afterward.
The Chargers bounced back from an 18-17 Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals to improve to 1-1 by taking a different approach than the Green Bay Packers (1-1) did in Week 1 when they didn't target Sherman at all. The Seahawks defeated the Packers 36-16 in their season opener, but fell to 1-1 on the season in Sunday's loss.
With the talking now over with, the Chargers look ahead to their Week 3 road matchup with the Buffalo Bills (2-0) while the Seahawks return home for a Super Bowl rematch with the Denver Broncos (2-0).
