Chargers receiver Keenan Allen went up against Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman on Sunday, and Allen did not come away particularly impressed.

Allen, who caught five passes for 55 yards in the Chargers’ upset over the Seahawks, said he doesn’t think playing Sherman is much different from playing any other cornerback.

“He’s just a normal guy,” Allen said, via ESPN. “We can go at him. We took some shots at him. We are not going to shy away from him. He’s not really a shutdown corner. We definitely wanted to come out and show we could go any way we wanted to and that we were in control of the game.”

Chargers receiver Malcom Floyd was blunt about how the Chargers attacked Sherman, saying, “Keenan was lighting up Sherman.” That might be a bit of an overstatement, but Allen did play very well. And he may have played well enough to convince other teams that they don’t have to stay away from Sherman.
