Falcons Fan Irate at Seahawks CB Richard Sherman for Possible Pass Interference

Kyle NewportOct 17, 2016

The Seattle Seahawks held on for a 26-24 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6, but the victory didn't come without controversy.

Atlanta had an opportunity to drive for a go-ahead score in the final minutes of the game. However, its last-ditch effort did not lead to points, perhaps because of a missed call by the referees.

On 4th-and-10 with 1:39 remaining in the game, Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan threw the ball down the field to Pro Bowl receiver Julio Jones. The football wound up falling incomplete, as the Seahawks' Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas were all over the pass—and arguably Jones.

Sherman appeared to interfere with Jones on the play, but the referees did not throw a flag for defensive pass interference. As a result, the Seahawks took over on downs, ending any chance the Falcons had to win.

One young Falcons fan had a tough time dealing with the loss. She won't be buying a Richard Sherman jersey anytime soon.
