You don’t see this every week around the NFL. Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was beat for a touchdown by New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall.
Sherman vs. Marshall…

As you can see, Sherman got caught napping near the left sideline. It resulted in a beautiful back shoulder pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Marshall.
Interestingly enough, it doesn’t appear that Fitzpatrick is avoiding Sherman, even after he tossed six interceptions in last week’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
It will be interesting to see how this matchup plays out as the game progresses. Though, Marshall obviously drew first blood here.
