The Carolina Panthers are aware their dancing isn't well received across the league.

Fullback Mike Tolbert has a potential solution for opponents hoping to prevent it from happening: Defend them.

"We don't care about the outside world and any of the scrutiny or the talking the trash of our dancing or how much fun we're having," Tolbert said, via ESPN.com. "If you don't want us to have fun, stop us."

Quarterback Cam Newton also said similar things following the Panthers' 49-15 NFC Championship Game win over the Cardinals.

"I'm a firm believer if you don't like it, keep me out (of the end zone)," he said.

The Broncos defense has allowed the fourth-least amount of points this season, but longtime coordinator Wade Phillips will have his hands full game-planning for Newton and Co.
