Struggling Cam Newton benched by Carolina Panthers in fourth quarter

MIAMI -- Cam Newton's storybook beginning to his second stint with the Carolina Panthers came to a crashing halt Sunday when he was benched in the fourth quarter against the Miami Dolphins.

Newton was replaced by P.J. Walker with just over 10 minutes remaining and the Panthers trailing by 20.

Newton completed 5 of 21 pass attempts for 92 yards with two interceptions for a passer rating of 5.8. His 23.8 completion percentage was the worst by a player with 20-pous attempts since 2004, according to ESPN Stats and Information.
