Grading the Carolina Panthers 26-20 loss to Cleveland on Sunday:
D Quarterback: Cam Newton began the game pretty sharp, completing 15 of 20 pass attempts for 185 yards. He fumbled on a shovel attempt with about 16 seconds left in the half, but lucked out when refs ruled it an incomplete pass as they saw Newton’s arm move in a throwing motion. Newton also had an interception overturned because of a hold on Cleveland. Newton overthrew Jarius Wright in the end zone on the potential go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter and the Panthers turned the ball over on downs, with the Browns up six, then overthrew a pass that was intercepted when the Panthers got one more chance to win.
