CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Cam Newton hadn't played particularly well and neither had his team, which trailed by 17 points early in the second half. But the quarterback made it clear to everyone at halftime and throughout the final two quarters that they were going to come back and win.
And they did.
This wasn't Sunday when Newton rallied the Carolina Panthers from a 17-0 third-quarter deficit to a 21-17 victory against the Philadelphia Eagles with three fourth-quarter touchdown drives.
This was the 2010 "Iron Bowl" between Auburn and Alabama, when Newton led the Tigers from a 24-7 halftime deficit -- it was 24-0 midway through the second quarter -- to a 28-27 victory.
