WATCH: Cam Newton defies gravity, logic and sense to score somersault touchdown

Taking flight

Patrick McCarry

Cam Newton is gunning for the MVP this NFL season.

The Carolina Panthers quarter-back inspired his side to a 24-17 win over Houston Texans, on Sunday.

Newton threw for 195 yards and two touchdowns, as well as getting on the scoresheet with a spectacular TD of his own.

On a quarter-back draw, midway through the third quarter, Newton pulled off a stunning front-flip somersault into the endzone.

It had shades of Dennis Quaid [or his stunt double] in Any Given Sunday pomp.
