Cam Newton accounts for four touchdowns as Panthers whip Buccaneers
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton completed 21-of-26 passes for 293 yards and two touchdowns and rushed six times for ten yards and two more touchdowns in the Panthers' Week 17 win over Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 38-10.
How about 36.54 standard-league fantasy points to polish off an MVP-caliber year. Newton absorbed four sacks in Sunday's whipping of the Bucs, but made big-time throws look routine in the middle of the field and connected with wide receivers Jerricho Cotchery and Devin Funchess for touchdowns. Newton has been virtually unstoppable this season, and a usage machine in particular with running back Jonathan Stewart on the shelf. With Sunday's victory, the Panthers secured the NFC's top playoff seed.
Newton generated 17.45 Net Expected Points in Week 17, per live.numberfire.com. This was the second-most among quarterbacks in the final week of the season.
