QB Cam Newton:

"My thinking is there is an imaginary line right there and if I cross the plane with the ball, it is a touchdown. Flip, no flip, fumble, no fumble. As long as I get across the plane with the ball as I have done numerous times ... I just know that my heart was in my socks. When I was flipping I was like hey, I don’t know how this is going to end. Then when I was coming down, I said hey I can stick this. So, I didn’t stick it but I still think I got a good high rating by the judge."

TE Greg Olsen:

"I told him the Russian judge gave him a 3, but everybody else gave him a 10. I guarantee the first thing he thought when he fell was he wished he’d stuck that landing, but that was pretty impressive."

WR Ted Ginn:

"To be 6-foot-6, you don't see a lot of guys that athletic that play football. You usually see them play basketball or run track or something like that. For a guy to be able to come to this level and be a quarterback and do something I couldn't do, it's amazing."

CB Josh Norman:

"Superman, huh? Went up and over. Almost landed on his feet. That's our guy, man. That was awesome he could do that for us and get over the top and give us an edge."

Coach Ron Rivera:

"That’s one of those things that we didn’t do during the preseason when we got down in the red zone. We didn’t run the quarterback and truthfully he has always been a big part of our running game in the red zone. I thought it was a good call at the time. You always hope for the best with him and, believe me, he wants to put it in the end zone, and he is going to do whatever it takes to get it in there."
