NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As Sunday’s game at Tennessee moved into the second quarter, those of us in the press box were tracking the best start to a game of quarterback Cam Newton’s career.
Newton’s 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Ed Dickson, which gave Carolina a 14-7 lead, was his 10th consecutive completion.
He couldn’t miss. The passes, like a 27-yarder to wide receiver Devin Funchess, were perfectly precise and right in stride.
After the Titans cut the deficit to four, Newton extended his streak to 11 with a 17-yard pass to Dickson.
