New Look Patriots Off To Good Start

SOCIAL DISTANCING AT HOME — Cam Newton can rest easy, for the moment.

The new Patriot starting quarterback, who is trying to do what Steve Young, Aaron Rodgers and Jay Fiedler have done, took his first steps in taking over for the NFL GOAT quarterback. With Tom Brady way down yonder in New Orleans preparing to take on a team with a quarterback almost as old as he himself, Newton took the helm of the Patriot offense and rushed for two touchdowns. The Patriots avenged a Week 17 loss at home last year to the Miami Dolphins with a 21-11 victory at an empty Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
