CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Hey baby. I’m gonna let you be you now, baby.
These were Norv Turner’s words to Cam Newton according to Newton in his postgame press conference on Sunday night. Newton cocked his head back, closed his eyes and did his best West Coast-Cool imitation of Turner.
“OK, coach,” Newton retorted.
Just let it go out there today, baby.
“He loves ‘baby,’” Newton said.
The first game of this Newton-Turner marriage should be deemed a success.
The Panthers topped the Cowboys at home 16–8 as Newton passed for just 161 yards but rushed for a team-high 58 yards and a touchdown.
