Cam explains why he didn't dive for fumble, Much of the criticism directed against Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton – at atomic above his abbreviated account appointment – centered on his acknowledgment to one of his two fumbles in Sunday’s Super Bowl 50.
Denver Broncos linebacker (and closing Super Bowl MVP) Von Miller bare Newton of the brawl backward in the fourth quarter. With the brawl on the turf, it appeared Newton hesitated in his following of the fumble. Denver’s T.J. Ward came abroad with the apart brawl in one of the better swings in the Broncos’ 24-10 achievement at Levi’s Stadium.
"I didn’t dive on one bollix because the way my leg was (positioned)," Newton told reporters in Charlotte on Tuesday. "It could accept been angled in a way. You say my effort? I didn’t dive down. I fumbled - that’s fine. That’s fine. We didn’t lose the bold because of that fumble.”
But the bollix absolutely was a analytical play.
The Broncos took over at the Panthers' 4-yard band with four account remaining. Four plays later, C.J. Anderson ran the brawl in from 2 yards, and the Broncos' two-point about-face gave them the 24-10 lead.
“You can adjudge me and say, ‘Well, he gave up,’ ” Newton said. “It’s simple for a being to bother and say, ‘He gave up.’ That’ fine. I’m a developed man. I can accept that."
A few Broncos players had theories why Newton didn’t clutter for the ball, including Ward.
"If he would accept affected that ball, I was gonna hit him appropriate in his face, and I wasn't the alone one," Ward said, per NFL.com. "We were athirst for that one. We saw that brawl and it was like hyenas on an antelope. And I don't apperceive - maybe he bare to break advantageous for next year."
