Newton kept getting sacked, and not just sacked but hammered. The Panther's offensive line hadn't seen anything like the defense they were up against for speed. Newton had to be in some pain. Two weeks before, and probably never again, Newton had been like a superhero, running, diving over the line for scores, hitting his mark many times throwing. And enjoying it in a conspicuous but not (to me anyway) obnoxious. It was sort of the fantasy of football, heroics with little pain. Glad he and Manning made peace at the end of the game. Indeed, Manning's been there and no one else could have been as understanding.
