This is the first season in NFL history that two rookie quarterbacks – Cam Newton (3,893) of the Panthers and Andy Dalton (3,166) of the Bengals – have passed for over 3,000 yards. Newton has accounted for 34 touchdowns (20 passing and 14 rushing), the most ever by a rookie quarterback. His rushing touchdowns are the most in a single season by any quarterback.
