Cam Newton on airborne touchdown: ‘I just know that my heart was in my socks’

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton scored an amazing touchdown on Sunday, and he’ll remember this one for a long time.

“Superman” took flight and flipped over a Houston Texans defender to score this amazing touchdown, which was almost like the one Jerome Simpson pulled off a few years ago with Cincinnati.

Looks like Cam Newton tried to one-up Jerome Simpson on this flip into the end zone. (h/t NFL 2K Football) https://t.co/Txn6ODFk2b

Those watching surely felt their hearts skip a beat or two, and Newton seemed to be a bit nervous after the fact regarding the touchdown.
