Seahawks' Richard Sherman Doesn't Talk to Media After Loss to Chargers

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has never been one to not speak his mind, but after Sunday's 30-21 loss to the San Diego Chargers, the outspoken star wasn't in a talking mood.

Update: Sept. 18 at 10:55 a.m. ET

On Wednesday, Richard Sherman spoke about what happened Sunday.

The outspoken Seahawks star said that he didn't avoid the media after the game, per Terry Blount of ESPN.com:

"

I was available. I didn't sneak off. No one came up to me [in the locker room]. I took my shower and came back and everyone was talking to Earl [Thomas, who was next to Sherman]. I got dressed and left. I didn't stick around a long time waiting for everyone.

We just had played a game where it was over 100 degrees, and it was about 90 in the locker room. I wanted to get out of there and cool off. Someone came up to me in the hallway while I was signing autographs, but that was it.

"

As for some Chargers saying that Sherman had been "exposed," the cornerback could only laugh at those comments, per Blount.

"

You know, when a guy wants his name in the paper, he's gotta say something crazy. It's humorous. I guess he wants something to tell his grandkids: 'Remember the day I caught a couple of balls on Richard Sherman? No touchdowns, but I caught a few.'

I played pretty well. But it's really funny that two little Chargers say I was exposed. One had 50 yards [Allen had five receptions for 55 yards], and one had 60 [Eddie Royal had seven receptions for 69 yards]. It makes you laugh.

A week after Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers didn't target Sherman a single time, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers went after the corner early and often. Check out this interesting tidbit, via Around the NFL's Gregg Rosenthal: "Rivers wasn't afraid of throwing at Richard Sherman. They completed their first four passes toward Sherman for 56 yards."

Rivers threw for 284 yards and three touchdowns against Seattle on Sunday, and the Seahawks defense managed only one sack in the game and was unable to intercept a single pass.

Those aren't the types of stats that fans are used to seeing teams put up against the Seattle defense.

Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen talked about Sherman after the game, via ESPN.com's Terry Blount:

"

He's just a normal guy. We can go at him. We took some shots at him. We are not going to shy away from him. He's not really a shutdown corner. We definitely wanted to come out and show we could go any way we wanted to and that we were in control of the game.

Sherman may not have spoken to the media, but he did send out a tweet after the loss.

Given that next weekend's game against the Denver Broncos is a rematch of Super Bowl XLVIII, expect Sherman and the Seahawks to be even more focused, especially considering they are coming off a loss.
