Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton threw a 54-yard touchdown pass to Steve Smith, which was a very nice play as Cam Newton avoided the pass rush and Smith made a giant leap over New Orleans Saints defensive back Jabari Greer for the ball. However, the play was overshadowed by a very late hit on Smith in the end zone by Saints safety Roman Harper, which drew a 15-yard personal foul penalty and started a fight between the two teams.
Watch the play here as Harper makes the unnecessary hit on Smith. Not sure what Roman Harper was thinking on this play, but he had to know that Smith was already in the end zone, so he clearly deserved the penalty.
