What NFL experts are saying about the Patriots’ win over the Dolphins

Will the Cam Newton era be a successful one for the New England Patriots? Some NFL experts seem to think so.

After the Patriots defeated the Dolphins on Sunday, 21-11, in their season-opener, headlines centered around quarterback Newton, whose 15 carries for 75 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday were the most by a Patriots QB since Steve Grogan in 1977. Newton said that his offensive performance is the “new normal” for the Patriots.

It’s his running game, as the Ringer’s Kaelen Jones noted, that could be an effective weapon for the Patriots’ offense.
