Cam Newton Connects With Steve Smith On a Perfectly Thrown 31-Yard Touchdown Pass (GIF)

After getting stuffed on 4th & Goal at the 1-yard line in their last possession, the Carolina Panthers could've allowed the tide to be turned in the San Francisco 49ers' direction. But, on the very first play of their next drive, Cam Newton threw an absolute beauty of a pass to a streaking Steve Smith for a 31-yard touchdown. The Panthers took a 7-6 lead and look to continue riding this momentum for the rest of the first half.
