The storybook beginning to his second stint with the Carolina's came to a crashing halt when he was benched in the fourth quarter of the team's 33-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins.
P.J. Walker replacedNewton with 10 minutes left in the game and the team was trailing by 20.
The passer rating of 5.8 was for the 5 pass attempts for 92 yards that Newton completed. His 23.8 completion percentage was the worst by a player with 20-plus attempts since 2004.
Detroit's Joey Harrington had a good performance against Green Bay.
Less than three weeks after signing a one-year deal that could pay him up to $10 million for the rest of the season if he meets incentives,Newton's poor performance came. He scored the first two times he touched the ball in relief of Walker in a win at Arizona four days after rejoining the team that made him the top pick of the 2011 draft.
He had two touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown in the loss to Washington.
It all fell apart on Sunday afterNewton scored a 1-yard run.
