CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Tom Brady appeared to be in regular season form Friday night.Unfortunately for the New England Patriots, they may not see that form in a meaningful game until Oct. 9 when they face the Cleveland Browns since the three-time Super Bowl MVP will serve a four-game suspension to start the season.Brady looked sharp in his preseason debut though, throwing a 33-yard touchdown pass to Chris Hogan in helping the Patriots to a 19-17 preseason win over the Carolina Panthers on Friday night.Brady relieved Jimmy Garoppolo late in the first quarter and completed a 37-yard pass to Aaron Dobson on his first play from scrimmage, leading to a field goal. On his second drive Brady heaved a perfectly placed over-the-shoulder pass to Hogan down the right sideline for a 9-0 lead. Bradys other two drives failed to produce points.Brady made a quick escape after the game and did not talk to reporters.Weve moved ahead in a lot of areas, but were certainly not where we need to be, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. I dont think any player is, any coach is, Im sure no team is at this point. Were all making progress, which is good. Weve just got to keep our foot on the gas and make it as quickly as we can.While Brady was on the mark, league MVP Cam Newton struggled mightily in his most extensive playing time of the preseason. Newton was intercepted twice and the Panthers failed to get any points on his eight first-half possessions. Overall, the Panthers scored just three points in 10 Newton-led drives.The sixth-year quarterback was high on some passes and didnt get much help from his receivers, who had problems getting separation and dropped four passes, including one by Brenton Bersin on a fourth-and-2 at midfield.Panthers coach Ron Rivera said he was frustrated, but if we lower our passes and catch the ball, then we are where we need to be.Newton called the loss eye opening.We need better production from everybody including myself, Newton said. I have to be more mature and check the ball down and let guys do what they do.We will be better from this.New England shut down the leagues highest-scoring offense from a year ago, intercepted Derek Anderson and allowed only one passing play of more than 15 yards in the first half.Garoppolo, expected to start the first four games for the Patriots while Brady sserves a suspension for his role in Deflategate, returned in the second quarter but couldnt get anything going. Authentic Joey Rickard Jersey. In the third quarter he rolled out of the pocket while under pressure and missed an open receiver whod gotten behind the defense. His six drives resulted in no points, although Stephen Gostkowski missed a 30-yard field goal on the New Englands opening possession.Overall, there were some good things we did tonight, but we have to get the little things corrected or theyre going to bite us in the butt, Garoppolo said.QB COMPARISONPatriots: Brady finished 3 of 9 for 76 yards with one touchdown, while Garoppolo was 9 of 15 for 57 yards.Panthers: Newton was 13 of 29 for 100 yards with two interceptions and ran once for 9 yards.ROOKIE WATCHPatriots: QB Jacoby Brissett connected on a 12-yard TD pass to DeAndre Carter to give New England a 16-3 lead late in the third quarter.
