Carolina Panthers defeated Atlanta Falcons 25-15 at the Bank of America Stadium on Thursday Night Football and the unused substitute Baker Mayfield showed his excitement after the victory. The former overall No. 1 pick of the Cleveland Browns headbutted his teammates without wearing a helmet after win against the Falcons.
Quarterback P.J. Walker, who started for the fifth consecutive game of the season for the Panthers, completed 10 of 16 passes for 108 yards in the Panthers' victory. His backup Mayfield was pumped up following the Panthers placekicker Eddy Pineiro's 37-yard field goal that registered the victory.
The 27-year-old Baker celebrated Carolina Panthers victory by banging his head into his teammates. During his post-game excitement, Baker was not wearing a helmet, which might have raised eyebrows from the Panthers staff and medical experts.
