Because it's Thanksgiving and what is better on Thanksgiving than mashed potatoes?
Even Cam Newton knows that. If you were uneasy with his dancing, you're really mad now. If you love it, you're on your feet doing the mashed potato and the twist right along with.
He added the dances to his dab after a 4-yard touchdown run put Carolina up, 30-6 at the end of the third quarter. The Panthers went on to win, 33-14.
He gave this one some thought. And it was perfect.
Calling on Chubby Checker, he asks, "Tell me, do you like it like this?" Then after the game, Newton put on his dancing shoes (we think).

We're guessing Stephen Curry likes it. After all, go nuts when Luke Kuechly returned a Tony Romo first-half interception for a touchdown.
