It's easy to look at this photo and assume Brandon Browner was screaming something angry at Richard Sherman following the Patriots' game-winning interception, but really we don't know. It's just an awesome photo from the dying moments of the Super Bowl.
Sherman and Browner were best friends according to this 2013 video, but that became a little murky after Browner told his teammates to break Sherman's arm in the week leading up to the Super Bowl. Either way we'll probably hear a lot more about this moment that caused the Patriots' defensive back to get up in his former teammate's face.
Here's a photo from moments before he was pressed against Sherman.

Browner took to Twitter on Monday morning to say that the photos were not as contentious as they appeared:
That picture of me and my brother Sherman isn't what it seems. I always bump heads with him, I just usually have a helmet on.

Bumping heads with my comrades is how I tap in...
