FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Patriots left Sunday’s 35-30 loss at Seattle lamenting the yard they didn’t get.
But they exited with increased confidence in both the progress they’re making on offense and the versatility of the quarterback leading it.
Cam Newton did most of his damage with his legs in New England’s Week 1 win over Miami. He ran for two touchdowns against the Seahawks, but also showed he’s still more than capable of leading a team down the field with his arm — a question mark heading into the season.
He finished 30 of 44 through the air for 397 yards, the third-most passing yards of his career.
