Richard Sherman Says 'Karma' Caught Up to Cam Newton

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman may have an explanation for the struggles Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers have faced this season. 

Sherman was speaking to reporters Wednesday when he was asked about an incident that happened last January. As Rob Perez of FoxSports.com explained, the Panthers quarterback ripped a "12th Man" flag from a Seahawks fan and threw it on the ground after his team defeated Seattle to advance to the NFC Championship Game.     

Sherman didn't hold back, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times: 

Seattle hosts Carolina at CenturyLink Field this Sunday night. The Seahawks are 7-3-1 and sit atop the NFC West standings, while the Panthers are in the basement of the NFC South with a 4-7 record.
