Richard Sherman has taken a lot of heat for diving in the direction of Buffalo Bills kicker Dan Carpenter’s legs on Monday night, but nobody took things further than Carpenter’s wife Kaela.
After the game ended, Kaela Carpenter threatened to chop off Sherman’s man parts. No, seriously:

Sherman, who has already defended himself over the controversial play and said he was trying to block the kick, didn’t seem too concerned about Kaela’s warning.
@KaelaCarpenter Thank you! Have a great day

The NFL has admitted that Sherman should have been flagged 15 yards for a late hit. While Sherman says he was trying to prevent Carpenter from getting a free kick off after the cornerback jumped offsides, the play was clearly blown dead. Still, Sherman insists he was going for the ball and not Carpenter’s knees. He even shared a photo proving he got his hand on the ball.

The Bills were screwed by multiple calls during their 31-25 loss, and you can read an explanation from the league on those calls here.
Moral of the story? Don’t mess with Dan Carpenter. His wife seems like a terrifying woman.
