The Los Angeles Wildcats flipped their script from the first two games Sunday. And running back Martez Carter celebrated their turnaround with a forward flip as he went into the end zone to give LA a 33-3 lead in the third quarter.
Carter took a short pass from Josh Johnson and did he rest of the work on the 18-yard play.

He had promised sideline reporter Jenny Taft he would do a flip — a backflip — if he scored again and rather than waiting to get to the sideline, Mr. Excitement took off and landed in the end zone.

Martez Carter said if he had "one more in the box" he'd bust out his signature backflip.
He then front flipped INTO the box.
