The governor's office said in a statement McCrory experienced ''minor pain'' but was able to continue to his destination in another vehicle.
Lee said McCrory declined treatment.
After the 24-10 loss to the Denver Broncos, McCrory issued a statement congratulating Panthers Coach Ron Rivera and the team for making it to the championship and for ''putting North Carolina in the national spotlight.''
