Video: NFL’s head of officiating breaks down hit on Panther Cam Newton

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton alleged in his postgame news conference Sunday that NFL referee Ed Hochuli told Newton he "wasn't old enough" to get a personal foul call after a hit by Tyeler Davison of the New Orleans Saints.

When there was no flag, Newton talked briefly with Hochuli, and Newton walked away shaking his head. According to Newton, Hochuli said, "Cam, you're not old enough to get that call."

Dean Blandino, the NFL's head of officiating, said on NFL Network Monday morning that Hochuli insists he did not say that. Here is is analysis the play and the controversial aftermath.
