Richard Sherman fires 'enjoy the view from the couch' jibe at Darelle Revis

The story of Richard Sherman's trip to Super Bowl 2020 is one of many faces. Sure, the San Francisco 49ers displayed their mettle against the Packers to secure their ticket to Miami. And sure, the 49ers clinched the NFC Championship along the way. However, Sunday night was a night of redemption for Richard Sherman after he ended the 49ers' hopes of making it to the Super Bowl six years ago. The 49ers' cornerback was not about to let anyone (read: Darelle Revis) come in the way of him savouring the NFC Championship and a trip to Super Bowl 2020.

Richard Sherman's game-clinching interception from Aaron Rodgers’ deep shot for Davante Adams spelt the end for the Green Bay Packers at Levi's Stadium. While a number of NFL fans were impressed with Richard Sherman's showing on the night, former New York Jets man and Super Bowl-winning cornerback Darelle Revis was anything but impressed with his display. Darelle Revis took to Twitter to label Richard Sherman's display as "lame", with the former Jets cornerback blasting Sherman for not travelling with Packers wide receiver Davante Adams throughout the game. Darelle Revis also urged Richard Sherman, albeit with a tinge of resentment, to "stop hiding in a cover 3 zone". Naturally, Richard Sherman didn't take too kindly to that criticism.
