(AP) — Cam Newton should start wearing khakis and a navy blue blazer on team flights.
The reigning NFL MVP was benched to start Carolina’s loss at Seattle because of a dress code violation. Derek Anderson was under center for the first play and threw an interception .
Newton returned for the next series, but the defending NFC champion Panthers (4-8) were blown out by the Seahawks (8-3-1).
Newton is known for his colorful, stylish wardrobe, but he was punished by coach Ron Rivera for failing to wear a tie on the trip to Seattle.
The best way for Newton to avoid any future violations is to ignore fashion and dress boring.
