After the game, dejected and sulking Panthers quarterback Cam Newton grew tired of answering media questions about what went wrong in the Panthers' 24-10 loss to the Broncos and got up and walked off the post-game press podium after about three minutes. The following day, an online rumor claimed Newton had been arrested on charges of fixing the Super Bowl game and thus enabling himself to collect a whopping $100 million garnered from betting on the underdog Broncos: There was no truth to this story, however. It originated with the Daily Media Buzz, a fake news site known for publishing fabricated clickbait headlines and stories.
