Cam Newton’s most dangerous secret weapon isn’t even in the playbook

It’s something you’ll see on film, but not something you’d find in the playbook.

Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY Sports

HAVING FUN: Cam Newton and the Panthers aren’t just winning -- they’re having fun! And that’s what makes the Panthers so dangerous AND makes people so mad, which is a really dumb thing to get mad about. Listen to Jason Taylor explain.

THE REAL MVP: Julian Edelman is invaluable to the Patriots. It's impossible to single out the influence of wide receiver Julian Edelman in the Patriots offense.

NACHO MAN: Andy Reid says he handled clock management right. Okay. He also says that he plans on having a lot of nachos.

PALMER’S COMEBACK: Carson Palmer’s incredible season could only happen with the Cardinals. It looked like he was done. Then the Cardinals found him.

SEAU’S SHADOW: Ian Seau gets the spotlight and shadow that comes with the last name of a legend. The nephew of Hall of Fame linebacker Junior Seau is etching his own name into the family legacy.

THE BROWNS WON: Did the Browns actually make the best coaching hire this year? Here are the grades for each of the seven teams that made a coaching change this year.

FAMILY AFFAIR: Christian McCaffrey isn’t draft eligible, but his brother Max is. Max McCaffrey insists he has no issue with a shadow being cast on him by his father and brother.

BALL CONTROL: The NFL still can’t take care of its balls. The refs for Saturday’s Patriots-Chiefs game left the special kicking balls at their hotel.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY: Panthers rookie Shaq Thompson left a profanity-filled Snapchat message for the Seahawks. Shaq Thompson’s Snapchat message has since been deleted.

GREAT IDEA: Young Seahawks fan throws football to yank out his loose tooth.

HOT NEW TRACK: 2016’s hottest jam is this dude rapping and growling about the Panthers.

PROTECTION: The Panthers offensive line is way better than you think. As they say in the NFL, if you aren’t talking about the O-line, then they are doing their job.

CARDINAL CHALLENGE: Arizona Cardinals view Carolina Panthers as “the best defense in the league.” So, how do they get around it?
