The Seattle Seahawks‘ Legion of Boom did not attain the same level of success in Sunday’s game that it did in previous games against the Broncos (last season) and the Packers. The San Diego Chargers were able to throw for 284 yards, and they moved the ball through the air consistently throughout the game.
And after the game, multiple Chargers players said the team “exposed” Sherman.
Same word from multiple Chargers in reference to Richard Sherman: “Exposed.” Sherman did not speak with media after game.

He declined to talk to the media after the game, but took to Twitter to respond to the ‘exposed’ comments.
Lmao Exposed? …. Complete 3 passes 0 touchdowns 0 explosive passes…. These guys make me laugh

Sherman has a good point. I don’t know if allowing receivers to catch a few balls on quick slants counts as being ‘exposed.’ Plays like this are probably not what lost the game for Seattle. It’s not like he got beat deep consistently.
