Panthers rookie quarterback Cam Newton, the first overall pick in April's NFL Draft, has set an NFL record in his debut. Newton (24-for-36) had 422 passing yards, with three total touchdowns (one rushing) in Carolina's 28-21 loss to Arizona. Peyton Manning set the previous record for passing yards by a rookie in Week 1 with 302 yards back in 1998. Newton's passing total also ties Matthew Stafford's record for yards by a rookie in an NFL game. Stafford had 422 yards in Week 10 of his rookie season with the Lions.
