Resurgence of Cam Newton

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has played excellent ever since a horrendous performance against the New York Jets five weeks ago. He’s been on point with his throws and he’s played safe football, minimizing potential turnovers.

However, he has maintained his typical aggressive play, whipping fastballs to receivers the way only he can. Newton hasn’t had a bad playoff game in his career and potentially against an inexperienced Rams defense, look for him to have an impressive day.

Excelling through the air and on the ground, Newton can make even the most dominant defenses look average with his playmaking capabilities.
