Newton attacks middle of the field in Panthers’ win
Cam Newton was able to take control against the Washington secondary and linebackers with intermediate passes in the middle of the field, to the point that it looked at moments like Washington was not going to stop the Panthers’ offense. While Newton still had some issues with accuracy, his receivers did have some trouble with catching the ball, especially Ted Ginn, who had a drop on a very good deep throw.
