NEW ORLEANS — Panthers tight end Brandon Williams was ejected after a first-quarter brawl following Cam Newton’s touchdown run during Sunday’s game against the Saints.

Newton scored on a 2-yard dive to give the Panthers a 17-0 lead with 6:41 left in the quarter.

As the Carolina quarterback got up, he got into a shouting match with defensive end Cameron Jordan and eventually mocked a hip-thrusting moved like wrestlers do pretending to show off a championship belt.

Newton then did his signature “Superman” move, and was pushed in the back by inside linebacker Curtis Lofton while continuing to jaw with Jordan.

A melee between both teams ensued in which Newton was pushed through the end zone by Lofton into the padded entrance leading to a tunnel behind the goal posts.

Lofton said he had no regrets about shoving Newton to spark the brawl, as Newton was taunting Jordan at the time.

“I don’t take kindly to that,” Lofton said. “I saw it as straight disrespectful. … I’d do it 100 times out of 100.”
