Sherman explains sideline outburst

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was seen shouting at coaches and teammates on the sidelines during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons.

The fiery corner was asked about the outburst after the game and chalked it up to blown coverage on the play that led to a Julio Jones 36-yard touchdown in the third quarter, according to Sheil Kapadia of ESPN. Sherman said a fill-in safety missed the pre-snap audible on the play.

Sherman added that the mental mistakes are what get him fired up, adding that the Seahawks hold themselves to a championship standard.

He was also asked about the Falcons' final offensive play of the game, in which Jones appeared to be interfered with on a jump ball. Sherman was in coverage on the play and had a pointed response for questions of whether he impeded Jones from making a catch.

"No, I feel like we won the ballgame," Sherman said.
