Cam Newton Goes Airborne for Superman TD

Cam Newton went flying into the end zone for a touchdown and actually looked like the Superman he emulates when celebrating.

Cam Newton's patented celebration is ripping his fake suit shirt off to reveal his fake Superman costume beneath, and drew some inspiration from the Man of Steel on this touchdown run against the Texans. On a designed QB sneak from the three-yard line, Newton found the hole in the line and made a break for the end zone and had just one man to beat. So, he went diving head first and leapt a not-so-tall DB in a single bound. He bounced off another guy and did a full flip before almost sticking the landing with a huge smile on his face.
