Cam Newton had no lack of well-wishers after leading the New England Patriots on a game-tying and a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter of Monday’s 30-27 win over the New York Jets. But none of them stood out more than LeBron James.
The Los Angeles Lakers star, who is usually on opposite sides of New England fans' rooting interests, joined them in saluting Newton. James tweeted:
“Helluva game @CameronNewton!!!! Big time all night long! (praying hands emoji). Game winning drive to add on to it”
Newton was 27 for 35 passing for 274 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.
