He ultimately left with some help but couldn’t put any weight on it before heading to the medical tent and subsequently leaving for the locker room. That left Eluemunor screaming out in pain and writhing on the ground, taking off his helmet and pounding his fist as trainers immediately ran out to check on him. On the play, Newton took a vicious blindside hit that he never saw coming and as he went down, he rolled up on the back of Eluemunor’s right ankle. The veteran quarterback was seemingly unaware of the pass rush as the Broncos came after him, including one play where he took an unnecessary sack that ultimately also knocked out Jermaine Eluemunor. Newton appeared out of sync in the offense and the worst part was his poor awareness in the pocket.
It was a tough afternoon overall and here are some thoughts coming off the loss:ġ) It was a rough day for Newton, who finished Sunday’s game 17-of-25 for 157 yards with two interceptions, with the veteran looking shaky to say the least. After testing positive for COVID-19 and missing their game against Kansas City three weeks ago, Sunday finally marked his return and he definitely seemed a little rusty.
Cam Newton hadn’t seen game action since their match-up with the Raiders nearly a month ago back on September 27th and it was painfully obvious. Some teams can get by without practice, but in a transition year, the Patriots certainly aren’t one of them.Īfter two difficult weeks where positive player tests shut down the facility and saw them play one game without their starting quarterback, the Patriots came into Sunday’s match-up with Denver a bit unprepared.
