49ers CB Richard Sherman fined for hit on Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett

The Seattle Seahawks emerged victorious against the San Franciso 49ers and former teammate Richard Sherman last Monday night in Santa Clara.

The NFC West matchup came down to the wire in overtime, when Seahawks kicker Jason Myers was finally able to seal the deal with the game-winning field goal at the buzzer.

Good sportsmanship prevailed as Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson and Sherman exchanged jerseys on the field after the contest.

On Saturday, however, the NFL announced Sherman has been fined for his hit on Seahawks wide receiver, Tyler Lockett.

“49ers CB Richard Sherman was fined $28,075 for unnecessary roughness for lowering his head to initiate contact on his big hit of Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett in the second quarter,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport tweeted. “No flag was thrown.”

Here’s a closer look at the play in question – you be the judge.

The Seahawks have a bye this weekend but reconvene Monday for a bonus practice ahead of the Eagles Week 12.
