Was Cam Newton napping on the field before the Panthers stomped out the Cardinals?

Nap time for Newton led to a big night.

It was never really close Sunday night between the Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers as Cam Newton and Co. took an early lead and never let up.

What's the key for the big win? Apparently napping.

Ahead of the tilt, as players were warming up, a fan snapped this picture of who he claims is Newton laying in the middle of the field on his side.

No clue why (or if) he was doing that, but hey, it apparently works.
