Panthers quarterback Cam Newton opened the scoring in Sunday’s game against the Packers with a touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey, and he even warned his opponent about it before the snap in the cheekiest way possible.
The Panthers were faced with a second-and-goal situation from the Packers’ seven-yard line, and Newton elected to play mind games with his opponent. He pointed to the Packers defense before the ball was snapped, and then was seen saying the following:
“You been watching film, huh?” Newton appeared to say. “That’s cool; watch this.”
Newton then threw a touchdown pass to McCaffrey — backing up his talk.

The Packers defense probably didn’t appreciate that gesture.
