Richard Sherman's season-ending injury has granted him more time to see what Seattle Seahawks fans have to say about the team on various social platforms.
The veteran cornerback live-tweeted his thoughts Sunday afternoon as he watched the Seahawks beat the Dallas Cowboys to stay in the playoff hunt. He was not amused by some fans questioning the play and makeup of the club, which could tally double-digit wins for a sixth straight year next Sunday.
1 win away from another 10 win season! The fans that have turned on players and coaches. You should be ashamed of yourself. This team has overcome Tons of adversity and shown incredible resolve. There are teams out there that haven’t had a winning season in years. Be grateful.

The Seahawks beat the Cowboys 21-12 in Sunday's contest despite being out-gained 283 to 136 in total yards.
Sherman also voiced displeasure about FOX commentators Troy Aikman (a former Cowboys quarterback) and Joe Buck calling the game "ugly" due to its defensive nature.
I’m gonna start watching the game on mute because anytime a Defense is playing well the game is “ugly”. When offenses are putting up Big points it’s good Football smh

Sherman was ruled out for the season due to a ruptured Achilles suffered in Week 10.
