LANDOVER, Maryland -- Washington Redskins safety D.J. Swearinger said he was tired of hearing Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton talk all game Sunday. And he let Newton know after a failed fourth-down play late what was up.
It led to a 15-yard penalty on Swearinger and a near altercation, with Swearinger annoyed that he was the one penalized. The scene occurred after Newton threw an incomplete pass on fourth down with 34 seconds left in Washington's 23-17 victory. Swearinger walked quickly past Newton, clearly talking as they bumped.
