Cam Newton made an impact immediately upon his return to the Carolina Panthers.

Newton, 32, produced touchdowns on his first two plays Sunday to propel the Panthers to a 34-10 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.

Carolina had lost five of their past six games. Newton served as the backup to P.J. Walker with Sam Darnold injured.

He scored on a 2-yard run around the right side less than four minutes into the game. He followed with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Robby Anderson on his second play.

Newton returned to Carolina on Thursday with a one-year deal that could pay him up to $10 million for the rest of the season. He is expected to get his first start in his second tenure with the Panthers next week at Bank of America Stadium against the Washington Football Team.
