CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Cam Newton had a storybook beginning to his second stint with the Carolina Panthers in Week 10, scoring touchdowns on his first two plays in a backup role at the Arizona Cardinals in the stadium where he made his first NFL start.
He’s not headed for a storybook ending.
The 2015 NFL MVP is 0-4 as the starter and has lost his past 12 starts for Carolina dating back to 2018. He has committed five turnovers in his past three games.
In all likelihood, Sunday’s home finale against the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be the 32-year-old’s last game at Bank of America Stadium in a Carolina uniform.
