Auburn NFL roundup: More history for Cam Newton, but not for Carolina Panthers
Carolina quarterback Cam Newton reached
another NFL first on Sunday, but it didn't prevent the Panthers from
losing for the first time this season. The Atlanta Falcons' 20-13
victory prevented Carolina from becoming the third team in NFL history
to have a 15-0 record.
The Falcons also ended the Panthers' 18-game regular-season winning
streak, the third-longest in NFL history, which included a 38-0 win over
Atlanta just two weeks ago.
The loss broke Newton's nine-game winning streak in December. Before
Sunday, Carolina hadn't lost a game started by Newton in the 12th month since a 31-13 setback against the New Orleans Saints on Dec. 8, 2013.
Newton fumbled when he was sacked on Carolina's final snap of the
game, allowing Atlanta to run out the final 62 seconds of their victory.
