Cam Newton came to the defense of wide receiver N’Keal Harry — specifically over his fumble in the third quarter of the Patriots 24-11 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1.
Speaking to the media after practice on Wednesday, Newton said he feels like Harry’s performance against the Dolphins was “overshadowed” by his mistake.
“I spoke with N’Keal, and let’s just put a lot of things into perspective here: did he have a good game? Yes, he did,” Newton said. “I think that one play overshadowed the production that he did have. He bailed me out on a play, on an inaccurate pass that he came down with and got the first down.
