Sunday’s preseason finale will provide veteran quarterback Cam Newton and first-round pick Mac Jones a stage to make their final cases for the starting job. That competition grew more complicated this week after a “misunderstanding” of the COVID-19 safety protocols forced Newton to stay away from the team facility for five days. While Newton will return in time for the game, the missed practices and Jones’ upward trajectory could accelerate when the latter takes over as the starter.
If you aren’t around a TV to check out this preseason contest, you’ll need to dig a little deeper for streaming options. While regular-season games are usually available outside the two local markets, preseason games are much more limited. To view this game via live online stream, you’ll need to use NFL Game Pass.
