Newton, Norman help unbeaten Panthers improve to 4-0

What really matters is they are undefeated heading into their bye week after Sunday's 37-23 victory over the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Cam Newton threw for two touchdowns with no interceptions, and Norman returned one of his two interceptions of Jameis Winston 46 yards for a TD. Ed Dickson lumbered 57 yards after recovering a fumble to score for Carolina, which is off to its best start since 2003, when the Panthers began with five consecutive victories and wound up playing in the Super Bowl. According to the NFL, the fourth-year pro became the first Carolina player to return a pair of interceptions for TDs in the first four weeks of a season. The Bucs (1-3), have lost five straight in the NFC South rivalry and have dropped 11 consecutive homes games — 10 under second-year coach Lovie Smith — dating to December 2013. The Panthers only sacked Winston twice, but they also had six quarterback hits while forcing the rookie into some poor decisions. The Bucs outgained the Panthers 411 yards to 244 and limited Newton's top receiver, tight end Greg Olsen, to two catches for 28 yards.
