Cam Newton’s performance has been uneven in a make-your-own-momentum season, but a pattern is beginning to emerge: The former MVP thrives in prime time.
So far, the Patriots have played three nationally-televised night games.
Newton diced up the Seahawks secondary for 397 yards on Sunday Night Football. He engineered three fourth-quarter scoring drives in a Monday evening comeback against the Jets. And when did he play mistake-free football? In a Sunday Night Football monsoon, upsetting the Ravens.
We’ll also give his Week 1 stampede of the Dolphins the bright lights benefit too; Newton knew all eyes would be on him in his Patriots debut — and even dressed accordingly.
