The Carolina Panthers are getting blown out by the New Orleans Saints on Sunday Night Football, but there was one positive moment for the Panthers and their fans. As wide receiver Steve Smith was crossing over the middle, Saints linebacker David Hawthorne thought he would be able to jam Smith off of his route.

Unfortunately for Hawthorne, Smith made sure that he would have to ice up, son, after the game as he slammed Hawthorne flat onto his back.

Here is a look at Steve Smith throwing Hawthorne to the ground:
