Cam Newton connects with his WRs, but not Kelvin Benjamin

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Cam Newton didn't have any luck prior to Thursday night's preseason opener at Buffalo in getting an explanation from former teammate Kelvin Benjamin on why the wide receiver publicly criticized Newton's accuracy.

But the Carolina Panthers quarterback was successful in quieting -- at least for two series -- skeptics of his accuracy.

In case you missed it, Benjamin told "The Athletic" last weekend that Newton's inaccuracy as a passer held him back during his first three and a half NFL seasons before the Panthers traded him to Buffalo midway through last season.
