Newton continued his strong 2018 season with 19/25 passes completed for 247 yards and two touchdowns, accompanied by 33 yards rushing. The Panthers offense came out swinging early and much of that had to do with Newton’s arm, getting the team into redzone scoring chances. The team capitalized with 2 rushing touchdowns by Christian McCaffery, a beautiful reverse and run by Curtis Samuel, and a short yardage burst by Alex Armah to put the Panthers up 35-14 heading into the half. Cam didn’t have to carry the entire offense, and instead kept the engine running til they turned their other options loose.
