Cam Newton learned the hard way Thursday night that even near the end of a blowout win, you have to keep your head on a swivel.
With Newton’s Panthers up big on the Buccaneers late in the fourth quarter and Raymond James Stadium nearly empty, the end zone cannon (similar to the muskets shot off at Patriots games) went off, scaring the bejesus out of the quarterback.
Luckily, the television cameras were able to capture Newton’s reaction and the one of NFL Network analyst Steve Mariucci, who nearly jumped out of his shoes when the blast went off directly below him.
