“Yet through it all, man, it was all fun and games. And it was expected,” Newton said via NFL Network.

He said, “It wasn’t nothing. It was a competitive game — on both sides. You just have to realize who you’re talking to, and just keep everything in the game.
“I realized I was talking to a person that’s known for doing splits. So it wasn’t characteristic of myself to keep going back and forth. But at the end of the day, it’s football.
“And for me, no matter who it is, I play with a competitive edge and I expect the other team to have a competitive edge. And at the end of the day, anything outside of that, it’s just all about respect. I don’t disrespect nobody, and I wouldn’t want anybody to disrespect me. But yet at the end of the day, we got the thing that was most valuable today, and that’s the win,” Newton concluded.
