After dominating the Green Bay Packers in their season opener, Richard Sherman and the Seattle Seahawks took a step back in Week 2.
The San Diego Chargers upset the defending Super Bowl champions 30-21 on Sunday, and Sherman, whom Green Bay did not throw at once, was tested. Philip Rivers was 4-for-4 for 56 yards on passes directed toward the All-Pro cornerback, according to NFL Media’s Gregg Rosenthal, leading some Chargers to claim after the game that they had “exposed” Sherman.

Sherman didn’t speak to the media after the loss, but you couldn’t expect one of the NFL’s biggest talkers to remain silent for long. He responded to San Diego’s chirps Sunday night via Twitter.

Did the Chargers really “expose” the loud-mouthed D-back? Probably not. He’s still one of the best — if not the best — in the league at his position, and it’ll take more than one not-so-dominant afternoon to change that.
If Sherman ever feels the desire to direct any Michael Crabtree-esque taunts at Eddie Royal, though, the San Diego wideout will have plenty of ammunition to fire back.
The Seahawks will look to rebound against the Denver Broncos this Sunday in a Super Bowl rematch.
