It just might be happening.

The Carolina Panthers, in a Twitter/X post on Wednesday, may have left behind a Superman-sized hint regarding this weekend's wild-card round matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

A video, with an awfully familiar font, pans into the Keep Pounding drum—and plays a few sound bites from general manager Dan Morgan and head coach Dave Canales. But there's a third, very distinct voice that follows.

Panthers fans, since the team clinched the NFC South title on Sunday, have been clamoring for Newton to kick off this weekend's playoff game at Bank of America Stadium—and it seems like they have gotten their wish.
