ANIMATED: Laurent Robinson’s Amazing Circus Catch That Didn’t Count

This dance party is getting out of control, you guys. Deion Branch broke it down earlier on Sunday, Antonio Brown followed it up with his own jig, and now Josh Cribbs is getting down with his bad self. I’m beginning to wonder if the wide receivers didn’t hold a conference call and place bets on who could bust out the worst dance moves this week.
First, here’s the touchdown, which was pretty nifty!

VIDEO: Cam Newton Tosses 40-Yard Touchdown to Greg Olsen
Newton also has 119 yards passing and the game is still quite early in the second quarter. On the pass to Olsen, Newton was able to convince the defense that he was looking to Steve Smith on the other side, and then find his tight end behind the coverage. His pass hit Olsen perfectly in stride.
