NFL Preview: 5 best WR/DB matchups in 2014
By SJ Tuohy
1) Richard Sherman vs. Dez Bryant. October 12th. Dallas @ Seattle.
Granted, with all of these head-to-head clashes, the guys aren’t going to butt heads every single play, but when they do: it will be entertaining. Going into his fifth year, Dez Bryant wants to be an elite receiver in this league, and he is on his way there – if not already arrived. Last season he caught over 1,200 yards to go along with 13 touchdowns. He’s electric with his play, but also sometimes his attitude – which is why this one could get interesting. We all know that Sherman is not one to back down from a challenge, especially when the “elite” label is involved, not to mention he is a little. uh… outspoken?
I doubt we will see Dez torch the staunch Seahawks D with any plays like this, but I still will keep an eye on this one.
