LANDOVER, MD. -- Cam Newton was not happy a helmet-to-helmet penalty wasn't called when a Washington defender hit him, but the Carolina Panthers quarterback said he regrets his reaction after the play which drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
Newton was scrambling on his way out of bounds in the first half of the Panthers' 26-15 victory over the Redskins on Monday when he was hit by Washington's Trent Murphy. Newton shot up and tossed the ball at Murphy as the quarterback walked away to draw the penalty.
"I've got to be better than that," Newton said.
