According to The Charlotte Observer, the duo's son was born on Christmas Eve, which explains why Cam performed a new touchdown dance on Sunday. Fans were initially confused as to why he was cradling the ball like a baby!

I've been quiet about this because I didn't want to create a distraction for my team and appreciate the privacy in this joyous time.
