Aaron Rodgers and Richard Sherman have plenty of history on the gridiron. Sherman's Seattle Seahawks and Rodgers' Packers have had multiple career-changing moments for the former cornerback. As such, he appears to be keeping an extra close eye on the bonus morning game being played by DK Metcalf and Rodgers in Ireland in Week 4.

After a first-play sack of Rodgers, the game turned on its head quickly, with the Pittsburgh Steelers netting a lead in large part to Metcalf's explosive 80-yard touchdown. The world was watching, and Sherman saw it as well.

The Steelers went into halftime with a 14-6 lead, despite losing their starting running back for the game in a surprising turn.

It had been reported that Jaylen Warren would be available, but on the day of the game, he changed his mind, taking himself out of the lineup, potentially helping set up the offense to run through Metcalf. It appeared to work in the first half for all, including Richard Sherman, to see.

Of course, Richard Sherman has also made headlines in recent days in his reaction to DK Metcalf's former quarterback's benching in New York. Speaking in a TNF segment captured by Awful Announcing on X on Sept. 25, Sherman agreed with Tony Gonzales' claims that Mecalf's former quarterback Wilson could have played his way out of the Hall of Fame.

Sherman claimed that without a legendary defense playing with Wilson, he would not have been the same player.

"Without that legendary defense, he's been 4-11, 7-8, 0-3 to start for the Giants," Sherman said. "He was a winning football player in Seattle... and now you get to go on your own and prove 'I'm this great quarterback that's going to be dominant and it just hasn't worked out that way."

Meanwhile, since Metcalf separated from Wilson after the 2021 season, he has earned three seasons of at least 990 yards and five touchdowns. Thus far in 2024, with not just a new quarterback but a new surrounding cast in a new setting, Metcalf has proven to be able to transfer his skills and make game-changing highlights, whether it has been with Wilson, Geno Smith, or Aaron Rodgers.

The question is whether Metcalf can keep working at top speed long enough to make Seattle question their choice to move on from the receiver.
