The Cam Newton era for the New England Patriots arrived on the ground. Newton looked just fine as Tom Brady's replacement, rushing for two touchdowns Sunday, and the Patriots beat the Miami Dolphins 21-11 to open the season. Newton said not even a postgame scrum in which a Dolphins player “got under my skin” by grabbing his chain could ruin the day. Late in the period, Jerome Baker kept the Dolphins in the game, stripping N’Keal Harry inside the 5-yard line, causing a fumble through the end zone for a touchback. The Patriots' defense then shut the door when Fitzpatrick was intercepted in the end zone by J.C. Jackson.
