Panthers don't need to rush Cam Newton with Kyle Allen

LONDON -- Kyle Allen is making the decision on whether to speed up the return of Carolina Panthers franchise quarterback Cam Newton from a mild Lisfranc sprain a lot easier.

In Sunday's 37-26 victory over Tampa Bay, Allen became the seventh quarterback in the last 25 years to win his first five career starts, including four straight since Newton was shut down after a Week 2 loss to the Bucs.

As they might say in the United Kingdom, the 2017 undrafted player out of Houston has put on a jolly good show to help the Panthers to a 4-2 record after an 0-2 start.
