CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- If Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera has his way, Cam Newton wont be running as many read-option plays as he has in the past. If Jonathan Stewart runs the way he did Sunday night, Newton wont need to. Newton made a successful return following ankle surgery, Stewart ran for two touchdowns and the Panthers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 28-16 in a preseason game. Newton completed 4 of 9 passes for 65 yards and led a pair of touchdown drives before exiting late in the second quarter with Carolina (1-1) up 14-6. Stewart ran for 26 yards on four carries and made a strong case to be the Panthers goal-line back -- if not their primary ball carrier -- with scoring runs of 3 and 2 yards. Newton has been hit more than any quarterback in the NFL over the past three seasons and Rivera has said hed like to reduce the wear and tear on his franchise quarterback. "If we can run the ball effectively with the backs and not have to rely on him running we would much rather do that," Rivera said. And thats fine with Newton. "Im trying to win football games and if that is saying, Cam hand the ball off every play. Cam run the ball down the field 20 yards like a chicken with his head cut off every play. Cam drop back and throw the ball. Cam go get everybody a drink of water. ... Whatever is asked of me, I will do to try to win the football game," Newton said. Newton was rusty early. Carolinas first three possessions netted a yard and no first downs. Newton compounded the problem by overthrowing Kelvin Benjamin on a deep ball after the rookie receiver got behind the secondary. But Stewart replaced DeAngelo Williams and immediately gave the Panthers a boost with a 17-yard carry around left end. The Panthers found their rhythm after that, driving 66 and 50 yards for touchdowns on their next two possessions. "We had a slow start tonight, which is unacceptable," Newton said. "We have to stay on schedule and not waste opportunities like the shot to Benji. Kansas Citys a good football team and we didnt match their intensity early." Kansas Citys Alex Smith finished 14 of 22 for 127 yards. The Chiefs (1-1) moved the ball well early on without star running back Jamaal Charles, but were forced to settle for a pair of field goals -- one of them a 54-yarder by Ryan Succup. "We did some good things," Smith said. "We moved the ball on a stout defence. We just didnt finish, but self-inflicted things tonight." Kansas Citys search for a reliable No. 2 receiver continues. Dwayne Bowe, who will miss the first game of the regular season because of an NFL-imposed suspension, had five catches for 62 yards but none of the Chiefs other wide receivers stood out. Rookie quarterback Aaron Murrays first NFL pass was for a 43-yard touchdown strike to tight end Travis Kelce, but he later threw an interception leading to a Carolina touchdown. Newton had to shake off some early rust. He missed on five of his first six passes and was sacked for a 13-yard loss, leading to three straight three-and-outs to start the game. Carolina benefited from a 32-yard pass interference penalty on Chiefs cornerback Ron Parker that set up Stewarts first TD -- a run in which the 5-foot-10, 235-pounder bounced off a defender and bowled his way into the end zone. Newton connected on a 24-yard pass to Benjamin over the middle on Carolinas next series leading to Stewarts second score. It was an encouraging return to the field for Stewart, a former first-round draft pick who has missed 17 games the past two seasons with foot and ankle injuries. Stewart has been limited to 516 yards rushing and one touchdown the past two seasons. "Its been a while since Ive touched the end zone," said Stewart, who sat out the first preseason game because of a strained hamstring. The Panthers had a chance to extend their lead before halftime, but Benjamin lost his cool and head-butted Chiefs defensive back Chris Owens. That cost the Panthers 15 yards and took them out of field goal range. NOTES: Chiefs WR Junior Hemingway left the game with a strained hip flexor. Coach Andy Reid said Hemingway he will re-evaluated Monday. ... Rivera wasnt ready to declare Byron Bell his starting left tackle, but said he has played extremely well. ... Rivera pulled cornerback Josh Norman from the game after he started talking trash on the field in the first half. Wholesale Blue Jays Jerseys . -- Maxence Parrot of Bromont, Que.

Trailing by a goal after 20 minutes of play, Joe Pavelski responded with three goals and an assist as the Sharks snapped a two-game losing skid with a 5-2 victory over the struggling Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.MILAN - With Juventus headed for a fourth straight Serie A title, little appears to have changed since Massimiliano Allegri replaced Antonio Conte as coach.One crucial difference, however, is that Juventus has advanced to the second round of the Champions League, something Conte failed to achieve last year.Allegri is intelligent, he has started well, he has studied and changed the system, bringing only benefits to the team, Juventus director Pavel Nedved said.Juventus hosts Sampdoria on Sunday, and second-place Roma plays Genoa a few hours later.Here are some things to know about this weekends matches:___SURPRISE SAMPDORIAAfter finishing 12th last season, Sampdoria has had a strong start this time with only one loss in 14 matches.But the team faces a tough test when it travels to Juventus Stadium on Sunday.Juventus is the strongest team in Europe and has been for a long while, said former Italy and Juventus coach Marcello Lippi, who also played for Samp and coached in its youth sector. It is the most difficult match for any team. But Sampdoria is having an extraordinary season and so can get any result in every match, including Sundays.___ROMAS BELIEFOnly days after missing out on advancement in the Champions League, second-place Roma will visit third-placce Genoa.dddddddddddd.Could this have a boomerang effect? Lets not ask these questions. Its not a tragedy or a step backward, Roma director Mauro Baldissoni said. We were in a very difficult (Champions League) group and we had the chance to qualify right to the last game.We know our aims and among those is that of winning the title. We believe in it, there is no need for any extra motivation.Roma, which missed an opportunity to close the gap on Juventus last week, is three points behind the Serie A leaders.Like city rival Sampdoria, Genoa has also had an impressive start to the season and is currently third.___FIORENTINA FORWARDSFiorentina striker Khouma Babacar is likely to be out until the new year with a thigh injury, dealing another blow to the team.Babacar, who has scored four league goals this season, is the third forward out of action, with Giuseppe Rossi and Federico Bernardeschi sidelined with long-term injuries.Fiorentina will have to lean heavily on Mario Gomez, who recently scored his first goal in eight months after an injury-hit spell.Its properly a curse, Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella said. Im upset for Babacar.Fiorentina visits Cesena, which hired coach Domenico Di Carlo on Monday to replace the fired Pierpaolo Bisoli.
