    The 2015 league MVP has missed the past four games — all Panthers wins. Newton went 50 for 89 during Carolina’s 0-2 start with 572 yards and an interception.

    Back-up Kyle Allen has gone completed 80 of 122 passes for 901 yards and seven touchdowns during that span, becoming the first QB to being his career 5-0 with no interceptions since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970. Allen also led the Panthers to a win in the 2018 season-finale against New Orleans.
