Seattle, Washington- The clock ticks with just under 33 seconds, and with the 49ers trailing by six, Colin Kaepernick scans the field, rolling right. Looking for the end zone, he throws to what seems to be an open Michael Crabtree. Kaepernick overlooked one factor though, Richard Sherman. The ball is just about to reach Crabtree, when Sherman leaps up and tips the ball in a play that is now known as that is now known as the "immaculate deflection". The tipped ball fell right in to the hands of Seahawks linebacker, Malcolm Smith, who quickly slid to the ground to not risk fumbling. With 25 seconds left the game and the 49ers season is as good as over, but the action doesn't stop there.
Just seconds later, as Michael Crabtree was walking off the field Richard Sherman ran up to him and extended his hand out for a hand shake while telling him "Good game!". Crabtree responded by stiff arming Sherman in the face, which drew a 10 yard penalty.
Following the skirmish, Russell Wilson went on to take a knee, officially ending the San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl Hopes, and their season.
Following the game, Richard Sherman did not stop entertaining, informing Erin Andrews that he is "The Best Corner in the Game", and that Crabtree is "Mediocre at best". (Video Below)

The video has exploded, and has many different opinions. I like the video, because it features what it is really like in the NFL, and not the more modified version that comes out during press conferences.
The video has also inspired many funny pictures, such as the ones in the slideshow:
