Carolina is not a great team, but everyone in the NFL is a threat every week, and western teams always struggle in the eastern time zone. Seattle came in banged up and underperforming on offense, defense and special teams.
There was no shortage of motivation to win. Seattle badly needed to snap a two-game losing streak. to keep their beaks above water (.500), stay alive for playoff contention, and keep clawing up from third place in the NFC West.
The Seahawks needed no extra motivation, but Cam Newton's antics provided plenty of it.
The Diehard can accept a certain level of celebration in football, but remains uncomfortable with narcissistic displays like Cam Newton's "I am Superman" nonsense.
I knew to expect that. What I didn't expect is that Cam Newton celebrates every single first down.
First down celebrations are OK when you're a back or receiver who gets only a few touches per game, but when you're the quarterback, celebrating every single first down is.... excessive, to say the least.
Cam Newton has a great smile, but Seahawk defenders must have got tired of seeing his pearly whites.
So Bruce Irvin handled the situation.
