Panthers coach Ron Rivera says Cam Newton will start the team's home opener Sunday against the Detroit Lions. The two-time Pro Bowl quarterback was held out of Carolina's win on Sunday at Tampa Bay with fractured ribs, but backup Derek Anderson stepped in and threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns in a 20-14 victory. Rivera says keeping Newton out against Tampa Bay was ''one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make,'' but doctors told him it will make a huge difference in his recovery. He hadn't started a game since 2010, but helped the Panthers win their first season opener under Rivera and first overall since 2008.
