"I’m going to give away 50 tickets to the people who have rarely been to a game or have never been to a game," Newton told reporters. "I’m partnering with the Panthers and doing this. I’m adamant about, this Sunday is important to us.

"We need to reclaim Bank of America Stadium. I know the success hasn’t been there, but we ain’t talking about the past. I’m talking about the things here moving forward."

He makes a valid point about the recent past. The Panthers are 5-5 overall, but just 2-3 at home.

Newton, 32, signed a one-year, $10 million deal to return to Carolina last Thursday. He then made the most of his seven touches in a 34-14 win over the Arizona Cardinals a few days later, running for a two-yard touchdown on the Panthers’ first drive, as relayed by OutKick’s Nick Geddes. On the next drive, he threw a two-yard TD pass to Robby Anderson.

Panthers coach Matt Rhule said he is "trending toward" starting Newton for Sunday’s home game vs. the Washington Football Team. (Carolina enters as a 3.5-point favorite over Washington, per FanDuel Sportsbook.)
