Cam Newton scored a major touchdown to give the Carolina Panthers the lead on Sunday over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and his celebration had an extra special meaning.
After scoring the game-winning touchdown, Newton used the football as a prop and acted as if it were a birthday cake. He pretended to light a candle on top of the ball to celebrate his son Chosen’s second birthday.
