Photo by John McDonnell/The Washington Post via Getty Images dropped their sixth contest of the season on Sunday when they lost 27-21 to the Washington Football Team (-1). Cam Newton looked decent in his first game since the preseason, and remained a bright spot for the team on an otherwise disappointing day. The loss marked the fourth consecutive home defeat for Carolina this season.
