49ers’ Richard Sherman called for pass interference after review vs. Bucs

Well, that didn't take long.

No, the 49ers didn't score.

On the Bucs' second possession, Jameis Winston lofted a pass intended for Mike Evans who was blanketed by Richard Sherman. The pass fell incomplete, but Tampa Bay head coach Bruce Arians elected to challenge the play for pass interference on Richard Sherman. Upon review, it was determined that Sherman grabbed Evans' jersey and the penalty was awarded.

In #SFvsTB, there is clear and obvious evidence that SF #25 significantly hinders the receiver’s opportunity to make a play on the ball, therefore defensive pass interference was called: pic.twitter.com/SUROGNPQof

It's certainly a new wrinkle to the game.

Given the fact that Sherman has been critical of the rule change, he certainly won't be happy that he's one of the first to get called for PI on review.
