GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Kyle Allen on Sunday gave the Carolina Panthers plenty of reasons to give starting quarterback Cam Newton at least another week to rehab his sore left foot.
The second-year undrafted player out of the University of Houston threw four touchdown passes and looked extremely poised in a 38-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals that snapped a two-game losing streak.
There was uncertainty among team officials anyway whether Newton would be ready to return for next week's game at Houston. Allen's play may have given them confidence to stick with the Scottsdale, Arizona, native regardless.
