Richard Sherman got in Tom Brady’s face. And vice versa. Who wins the matchup?

In 2012, the Patriots visited Seattle. Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, not one to back down from smack talk, came up to Brady after Seattle pulled off the narrow win and flipped it back to Brady, who Sherman claims had been talking all game.

This will be a fun matchup between two of the most fiery competitors in the game.

Will Brady challenge Sherman? Can Brady and his receivers beat Sherman?

Who wins the war of words? How heated will it get on the field? Even though both are professionals focused on the goal of winning the Super Bowl, watch for the fireworks. And get your popcorn ready.
