LOS ANGELES -- The Seattle Seahawks won the ESPY for Best Team on Wednesday night at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
But that wasn't the team's only win.
Cornerback Richard Sherman became the first Seahawk to win an ESPY award. Sherman was named "Best Breakout Athlete."
“I appreciate the award. I appreciate being nominated. A lot of hard work, obviously, with the Legion of Boom,” Sherman said after accepting the award from actress Cameron Diaz.
A writer for Seahawks.com says Sherman's breakthrough year was actually 2012:
Regardless, 2013 was a pretty good year.
Coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Russell Wilson were also nominated for awards.
