Cam Newton defends Patriots' call on final play in loss to Seahawks

Providence Journal

There were moments on Sunday when Cam Newton looked unstopped in the power formation.

The first two times it happened, the Seattle Seahawks couldn’t stop Newton. First, the Patriots quarterback followed behind fullback Jakob Johnson and left guard Joe Thuney to barrel into the end zone for a 1-yard run at 13:59 of the second quarter. It was the same again at 2:16 of the fourth quarter, when Newton ran in for another 1-yard touchdown run.

On Sunday night, with three seconds on the clock, the Patriots were standing on the goal line down, 35-30.
