NASHVILLE, Tenn.
Cam Newton lamented not scoring a touchdown in last week’s exhibition against the Ravens.
He took care of that in five plays against the Titans.
In Carolina’s 26-16 win against Tennessee Saturday, the Panthers’ first-team offense posted 10 points in 18 snaps while withstanding two three-and-outs.
Newton went 8-of-12 for 162 yards and the 61-yard touchdown to Ted Ginn Jr. Newton looked sharp on most of his throws, getting two batted at the line.
Receiver Kelvin Benjamin had two catches for 29 yards, but he only played in eight snaps. The Panthers want him to get in the neighborhood of 35 snaps by Week 1, and he’s still a long way from it.
