New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan ended up getting the last laugh this season in his long-standing battle with Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton. After the Saints defeated the Panthers, 31-26, this past Sunday in the Wild Card round, completing New Orleans' three-game sweep of their division rivals, Jordan said he would send a bottle of wine to Newton as a thank you gesture.
"Who would I be if I don't follow through on my word?," Jordan wrote in his Instagram story alongside a picture of the promised bottle of wine labeled "Jordan" with a shot of Newton's name and the address of Bank of America Stadium, the home of the Panthers, in the background.
