Trent Williams apologises for Richard Sherman incident

Trent Williams says that he is sorry for his post-game scuffle with Richard Sherman.

Trent Williams has apologised for his post-game scuffle with Richard Sherman, following the Seattle Seahawks' 24-14 win over the Washington Redskins yesterday.

The Redskins offensive tackle and the Seahawks cornerback had an altercation on the field at the end of the fourth quarter, ending with Williams pushing Sherman's face.

The 24-year-old said in a statement: "I want to take this opportunity to apologise for my actions that took place following [yesterday's] game. It was a hard-fought game between two great teams and I let my emotions get the best of me.

"To Richard Sherman, the Seahawks, Mr Daniel Snyder, Coach Shanahan, Mr Bruce Allen, my teammates, and all the fans, I am truly sorry.

"I feel as though I've taken many strides to be a better person this season and this is not how I wanted it to end. And for that, I apologise for my actions."

Sherman later tweeted that he had received a text from Williams following the incident, and that he held no ill will towards the Redskins player.
