CHARLOTTE, N.C. — MVP candidate Cam Newton continued his assault on the NFL record book on Sunday.
The Panthers' fifth-year quarterback tied Steve Young's NFL record for most career touchdowns rushing by a quarterback with 43 on Sunday, leading Carolina to a 38-10 win over Tampa Bay and the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs.
Here's what is really impressive: Young took 15 seasons to reach that plateau; Newton did it in five.
Newton threw for 293 yards and had four touchdowns — two rushing and two passing — marking the 31st time he's had thrown and run for a touchdown in the same game, tying him with Young for another NFL record.
