Cam Newton and the New England Patriots pulled off the biggest upset of the week with a 23-17 win over the Baltimore Ravens. But for the most part, Newton played it cool. He didn’t play the game of superlatives — he wouldn’t commit to this being the Patriots’ biggest win. He wouldn’t even commit to the monsoon-like weather being the worst he’s ever played in.
No, Newton stayed even-keeled and emphasized the fundamentals. He praised his offensive line, his receivers and, in particular, his coach Bill Belichick. And Newton, who finished the game with 118 passing yards and two total touchdowns (1 pass, 1 rush), shared six interesting revelations about the team’s potentially season-altering win.
