Richard Sherman floats conspiracy theory on why he was flagged for pass interference 3 times

He believes NFL officials are targeting him.

They all arrived in the first half of the San Francisco 49ers’ 36-26 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Rare successful PI challenge

One of them arrived via replay review. Sherman wasn’t flagged on the field for interference, but officials reviewed the play on a challenge and determined that he hit Cardinals receiver Christian Kirk prior to a pass arriving and overturned the no-call on the field.

Anybody who’s watched the NFL this season recognizes that a successful pass interference replay challenge is the rarest sight in football.
