Newton returns with a bang, leads Panthers past Cardinals. MORE:
Newton — the 2015 NFL MVP who was signed by the quarterback-thin Panthers earlier in the week — made his presence felt on his first play of the game, entering on third down and screaming “I'm back!" after barreling into the right corner of the end zone for a 2-yard touchdown.
The Cardinals had the best record in the NFL coming into the game but looked discombobulated from the beginning. Carolina's struggling offense looked reborn with Newton in the mix. The majority of snaps went to P.J. Walker, who completed 22 of 29 passes for 167 yards, and Newton was saved for mostly short-yardage situations. Christian McCaffrey also had a big day in the backfield, running for 95 yards and catching 10 passes for 66 yards.
Newton's deal is worth $10 million, including $4.5 million fully guaranteed and a $1.5 million roster bonus, according to a person familiar with the situation. The 32-year-old spent the best years of his career with the Panthers before signing with the Patriots before the 2020 season and being released prior to this season.Carolina's defense had an excellent start when Haason Reddick sacked McCoy and caused a fumble that the Panthers recovered.
