Deion Jones

The Carolina Panthers have had a frustrating start to the season, but the NFL won’t have any sympathy for quarterback Cam Newton, who will be receiving a letter in the mail from the league this week.
Newton picked up a taunting penalty a little more than three minutes into the Panthers’ Sunday game against the Falcons when – after running for a first down on third-and-1 – he got in a brief tussle with Atlanta linebacker Deion Jones, threw the ball at Jones and then signaled for a first down in his face.
As FOX’s Mike Pereira points out in the video above, taunting is an automatic fine, and even if Newton’s enthusiasm failed to get Carolina off to a fast start at least the money will be going to charity.
