Panthers’ Thomas Davis: NFL doesn’t protect Cam Newton like other QBs

DENVER

All eyes were again on Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton during a press conference following a loss to the Denver Broncos.

There was no sulking this time. And there were no three-word answers. Just a lot of questions about the perception the Broncos had targeted Newton with a few high and/or late hits during Denver’s 21-20 victory Thursday at Mile High.

Newton conceded it’s “not fun getting hit in the head,” but said it wasn’t his job to question the officials.

But Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis sounded off on what he sees as unequal treatment for Newton.
