CHARLOTTE, N.C. - It wasn't so much Cam Newton's touchdown run that made this one special but the Carolina Panthers quarterback's celebration afterwards.
Newton scored easily on a 24-yard run around the left side to give the Panthers a 14-7 lead with 5:52 left in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Washington Football Team and former Carolina coach Ron Rivera.
But once Newton got to the end zone, he turned, sprinted to midfield and slammed the ball into the middle of the Panthers' logo. He followed that with one of his patented "Superman'' celebrations, standing tall on the logo and pretending to reveal the "S'' on his chest.
