Sherman continued to praise Manning during an appearance on ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning on Monday, explaining how Manning approached him after the game to see if his sprained ankle was okay.
"He was really concerned about my well-being," Sherman said, per Pro Football Talk. "After a game like that, a guy who's still classy enough to say 'How are you doing?' To show that kind of concern for an opponent shows a lot of humility and class."
