Cam Newton, the Carolina Panthers quarterback, got some flossing done in between downs Thursday night during the opener in Denver.
NBC commentator Cris Collinsworth announced what he — and the rest of the country — saw on live television. Twitter had some fun with it:
Ya’ll Cam Newton brings dental floss w/ him on the field. That’s some dedication to oral hygiene!
Every dentist in the world shed a tear of joy watching #CamNewton floss on the sideline
And for those of us who don’t make the time to floss, like our dental hygienists tell us, there’s these:
PSA ON ORAL HEALTH: If Cam Newton finds time to floss his teeth, you have NO excuse t.co/vPfp9ROYCL
If Cam Newton can floss in the 3rd quarter. I can find time at night. Thanks for the inspiration Cam!
Then, of course, there were those who related it to the actual game:
Cam Newton has been eating up on that Broncos secondary so much he needs to floss mid game.
Later, after Broncos running back C.J. Anderson scored a touchdown, NBC’s Al Michaels said, “That’s like going to the dentist.”
