Newton disappoints in first start

MIAMI — Cam Newton, top pick of the NFL draft, was shut out in his first exhibition-game start, and Carolina Panthers lost to the Miami Dolphins 20-10.
Newton played the entire first half, when the Panthers managed only three first downs, had the ball for less than eight minutes and fell behind 17-0. Newton went 7 for 14 for 66 yards, and he ran four times for 18 yards.
Carolina crossed midfield for the first time when Newton ran for 7 yards on the next-to-last play of the half.
Reggie Bush, another former Heisman Trophy winner, played for the first time since joining the Dolphins and totaled 81 yards from scrimmage in three series. He ran eight times for 48 yards, including a 17-yard burst up the middle, and caught two passes for 33 yards.
Miami's Chad Henne played the entire first half and led the Dolphins to 17 points in five possessions, including 10 points in two series against Panthers reserves.
Henne went 15 for 24 for 194 yards, and he had a 17-yard scramble.
Redskins 16, Colts 3: John Beck answered Rex Grossman's challenge.
One week after Grossman's impressive preseason performance, Beck counterpunched by leading the Redskins to four straight scores in the first half in Washington's victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
Beck and Grossman are fighting to become Washington's starting quarterback, and after two weeks, the race appears even.
Lions 30, Browns 28: Colt McCoy threw three touchdown passes — two to tight end Evan Moore — in the first half, but the Cleveland Browns blew a 15-point lead after halftime and lost to the Detroit Lions in a penalty-filled exhibition that showed both teams have plenty to fix in the next three weeks.
McCoy finished 10 of 18 for 96 yards, his second straight solid performance running first-year Browns coach Pat Shurmur's new West Coast offense.
McCoy was victimized by a few drops and wasn't as sharp as in last week's win over the Super Bowl champion Packers.
Ravens 31, Chiefs 13: The Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens both ended their preseason touchdown droughts.
Now, only Kansas City is searching for a victory.
Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor directed two fourth-quarter touchdown drives, the first ending with Jalen Parmele's go-ahead 10-yard touchdown run with 7:16 remaining, and the Ravens rallied for a victory over the winless Chiefs.
Jaguars 15, Falcons 13: Jacksonville's quarterback competition turned out to be a stalemate against Atlanta.
David Garrard did little to solidify his starting spot and rookie Blaine Gabbert was equally unimpressive as the Jaguars beat the Falcons.
Packers 28, Cardinals 20: Aaron Rodgers topped off a sharp performance with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings and the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers beat the Arizona Cardinals.
Rodgers played into the second quarter, completing 9 of 12 passes for 97 yards and the touchdown.
Matt Flynn took over for Rodgers and led the Packers to another touchdown before halftime, a 2-yard run by rookie Alex Green.
