Fox Sports host Cris Carter, an NFL Hall of Famer, doesn’t think Cam Newton is getting the same kind of national kudos that some other quarterbacks might for rallying his team from a 17-0 fourth quarter deficit to beat the defending Super Bowl champions — at the defending Super Bowl champions home field.
But that’s what Newton did Sunday, rallying the Panthers to a 21-17 victoory, getting his 15th career fourth quarter comeback, which tops NFL stars such as Aaron Rodgers and Andrew Luck.
Newton threw for 264 yards for the game, but was 16 of 22 in the fourth quarter for 201 yards and two touchdowns.
