Some New England Patriots fans were torn on Cam Newton’s return, especially with how the 2020 season ended.
But perhaps nobody paid enough attention to what happened before the former MVP tested positive for COVID-19. Through the first three games, the team was 2-1 (with that loss coming in the final seconds to the Seattle Seahawks) and Newton was 62-of-91 with 714 yards, two passing touchdowns.
