When Julius Peppers knocked ball from Cam Newton, 'God winked' on Colin Toler

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- God winked.

Colin Toler smiled.

At least that’s how the family of the 6-year-old that on Sunday got a football from Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton chooses to look at it.

Newton normally runs near the middle of the end zone stands to deliver a football to a young fan after the Panthers score a touchdown.

But because Green Bay Packers defensive end Julius Peppers snatched the ball from Newton’s hands after the second-quarter touchdown, because he tossed it toward the sideline, Newton had to chase it down.
