Collins' neck bent awkwardly on the hit and he landed face down on the turf with 11:57 left. Packers teammate |

| (MySportsbook) - Cam Newton's NFL debut wasn't a victorious one, but it was still impressive enough to grab headlines across the nation. The Carolina Panthers' top overall draft pick may find success harder to come by in his second career game, with the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers slated to invade Bank of America Stadium on Sunday. Newton set an NFL record for a quarterback making his first-ever appearance when he racked up 422 passing yards in last week's 28-21 loss at Arizona. He also th |

But Orton had an interception and one of two lost fumbles as the Broncos (0-1) stumbled to the loss in the debut of their new head coach, John Fox. Fox, the former Carolina Panthers' head coach, was hired by Denver after its substandard 2010. The Broncos fired Josh McDaniels in December and went 4-12. "There's no consolation for close, but I think we're still optimistic," Fox said. "We're just 0-1, like half the teams in our fo |
