Kyle NewportFeb 1, 2015

Things got a little out of control when a brawl between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots broke out in the final minute of Super Bowl XLIX, but when it came time for postgame handshakes, the players showed mutual respect for each other.

New England pulled out a 28-24 victory in an instant classic. When Patriots quarterback Tom Brady took a knee at the end of the game, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was there to congratulate him and shake his hand.

This interaction was a little different than the last time the two met after a game, when Sherman dropped the "U Mad Bro?" tweet. It appears as though there is now a healthy level of respect between two of the best players in the NFL.
