CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Two Tigers took time to take a photo before the Carolina Panthers' 31-24 win against the Seattle Seahawks Sunday in a NFC divisional round playoff matchup.

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, a former Auburn Tiger, and current Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson posed on the sideline before Newton passed for 161 yards and a touchdown.

Both Newton and Watson wear wide smiles in the photo, while Watson sports a Panthers hat and jacket.

Watson completed 30-of-47 passes for 405 yards and four touchdowns, while rushing for 73 yards in a Jan. 12 National Championship loss to Alabama. Watson finished third in Heisman Trophy voting, behind Alabama's Derrick Henry and Stanford's Christian McCaffrey. Newton won the 2010 Heisman Trophy, while quarterbacking the Tigers to a national title.
