Newton completed 27 of 40 attempts for 275 yards with two touchdowns, an interception and 43 rushing yards on nine carries during Sunday's 23-17 loss to Washington.
The polarizing Panthers quarterback stood on the Redskins' 16-yard line in the waning moments, facing a second down with the ball in hand and an opportunity to get Carolina to 4-1 on the season. Newton entered the decisive moment having completed a stellar 27 of 37 passes, but when it counted most, Washington's defense stepped up by forcing three consecutive incompletions to seal the victory for the Burgundy and Gold. Newton and the Panthers now face a Week 7 road trip to Philadelphia to take on the defending champions and an Eagles secondary ranking 24th in passing yards allowed per game (273).
