GLENDALE, Ariz. — All that was missing in Cam Newton’s spectacular NFL debut was a victory.

For all of his big passing plays and Arizona’s many miscues, the Cardinals beat Newton’s Panthers 28-21 on Sunday. Newton threw for 422 yards and two touchdowns, setting the record for yards passing by a rookie in his NFL debut and tying Matthew Stafford’s mark for most yards by a rookie in any game.

Newton earned the respect of his opponents in the process.

“He’s a big, athletic, strong quarterback,” Arizona inside linebacker Paris Lenon said. “The guy can run the ball and throw the ball well. He’s definitely going to be a major force in this league.”

Newton’s big numbers came even though the play book he’s using remains limited.

“We really had to pare it back an awful lot and it’s going to grow each week,” first-year Panthers coach Ron Rivera said.

Newton completed 24 of 37 passes with one interception.

“He was everything everybody didn’t expect him to be,” said Steve Smith, who caught eight of those passes for 178 yards, including TDs of 77 and 26 yards. “He was on point, he made some great runs, he made some great reads, made some fantastic throws. He made some throws out there that honestly as a receiver it made it easy to catch them.”
