Take Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, for example.
You glance at his stat line and see this:
Passing: 15 of 24, 150 yards
Rushing: 10 carries, 36 yards
Good, not great, right?
Well, if you know anything about Cam Newton (and if you don’t, what’s wrong with you?) then you know that any game he is on the field, the potential for big things happening is present.
Newton threw a pair of TD passes and ran for two more in Carolina’s 28-21 victory Sunday in Charlotte, N.C. That is the third time in his career that he’s thrown for at least two scores and run for two — that’s second only to Steve Young, who accomplished that feat four times in his career.
