Richard Sherman made his presence felt pretty early on Sunday. 


Well, it didn’t take long for Richard Sherman to let everyone know that he was in the house on Sunday in the NFC Championship Game.

All week everyone had been wondering whether or not Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers would test one of the best defensive backs in the game. Well, he did on the first possession, and it did not end well.

Watch in the video below as Sherman pulls in this awesome interception off of Rodgers, that very easily could have been a touchdown for Green Bay to get things started.


OK, so maybe Rodgers is gonna stay away from testing Sherman more in this game. That would probably be the best idea after this happened.

But the good news for the Packers is that they were able to get it right back with an interception of their own on the ensuing possession.
