(Reuters) - Quarterback Cam Newton was not the only Carolina Panthers player performing like Superman on Sunday as the brilliant pass-and-run threat teamed up with his mates to soar into the Super Bowl.
Newton twice flew like his caped comic book superhero to cross the goal line on runs, ran over a defensive back on another jaunt and connected with Corey Brown on an 86-yard touchdown pass for one of his two scoring strikes.
He was joined in the jaw-dropping play department by speedy receiver Ted Ginn, who zig-zagged to a 22-yard touchdown on an end-around run, Kurt Coleman, who swiped a pair of passes, and linebacker Luke Kuechly who ran his interception back 21 yards for a score.
