The confetti of the San Francisco 49ers' NFC championship victory celebration hadn't finished falling before retired NFL corner Darrelle Revis starting slinging Twitter arrows at Niners corner Richard Sherman.

Two of the best defensive backs of this era, they have often been compared to one another.

On Sunday night, Revis took issue with Sherman's penchant for locking down the left side of the field and not traveling with the opponent's best receiver, prompting a heated back-and-forth between the two.

Revis enjoyed an incredible 11-year NFL career. He was elected a first-team All-Pro four times, made the Pro Bowl seven times, and won a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots. He also earned north of $72 million.

Sherman is a three-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler. He's also a Super Bowl champion and is heading to his third title game.
