Cam Newton started at quarterback for the Carolina Panthers on Friday night, but his team is down, 17-0, at halftime to the Miami Dolphins. It hasn't been the strongest of start for Newton, who is 7-of-14 for 66 yards with zero touchdowns and interceptions. Newton has had trouble finding his wide receivers, completing just one pass to that corps. He did find his tight ends, Jeremy Shockey and Greg Olsen, for five of his completions. He ended the first half with a 50-yard Hail Mary pass that wound up incomplete.
