Panthers Legend Cam Newton Speaks Out in Shame Over Veteran Player’s Actions Following Humiliating 40-9 Loss to the Bills
The Week 8 matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers should have ended as a simple statement game — a dominant 40-9 victory for the Bills, proving their superiority on both sides of the ball. But the drama that unfolded after the final whistle turned a tough loss into an embarrassing headline for Carolina.
According to ESPN, A’Shawn Robinson, a veteran defensive lineman for the Panthers, sparked a postgame altercation with Bills offensive lineman Dion Dawkins moments after the game ended. The exchange began when Dawkins approached Robinson, the two started shoving, and Dawkins threw his helmet in frustration. Robinson tried to charge forward but was restrained by teammates, while Bills receiver Curtis Samuel and Panthers DT Derrick Brown stepped in to separate them.

As the scuffle cooled down, Dawkins reportedly shouted “40-9” — the final score — toward Robinson, who yelled back “Get off me!” before being led off the field.
The incident quickly spread across social media, drawing backlash from fans who called the Panthers’ behavior “unprofessional and disgraceful.” And among those who voiced disappointment was Cam Newton, the greatest player in franchise history and the face of the Panthers’ golden era.
“I fought for this logo and bled to bring pride to the Panthers. A loss is a loss — the Bills played outstanding football with Josh Allen operating on another level. The Panthers were beaten, and how you respond after defeat defines your character as a team. Watching that scene, I just felt ashamed.”
Newton didn’t hold back in criticizing Robinson, calling him “a veteran trying to rage-bait others into penalties instead of setting an example for the younger guys.” He also gave credit where it was due — to Buffalo.
“The Bills played like a real team — disciplined, organized, and focused. They finished the game with effort, not emotion.”
Cam’s blunt honesty quickly went viral, with many Bills fans praising his integrity and Panthers supporters admitting his words were “harsh but necessary.”
After a 40-9 blowout, the Panthers didn’t just lose on the scoreboard — they lost face. And for someone like Cam Newton, who once embodied the heart and pride of Carolina, that loss of dignity stings far more than any defeat on the field.
