"While wearing a Seattle Seahawks jersey during a recent appearance on his 4th-and-1 podcast, Newton said the Patriots' path through these playoffs hasn't been very challenging. "The New England Patriots have had the easiest road to the Super Bowl in NFL history. Go argue with your mama," said Newton. The No. 2-seeded Patriots are one win away from appearing in Super Bowl LX after a pair of victories at Gillette Stadium over the past two weeks."
"Newton, a former Patriots quarterback, said the home-field advantage along with going against wounded offenses have made the Patriots' path easy. The Chargers lost both starting tackles, Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater to season ending injury. Houston's top receiver, Nico Collins, missed the divisional-round game with a concussion. On Sunday, the Patriots will face the top-seeded Denver Broncos without starting quarterback Bo Nix who broke a bone in his ankle last Saturday."
Cam Newton criticized the New England Patriots' playoff run as unusually easy, repeating earlier "fool's gold" remarks while wearing a Seahawks jersey. He highlighted home-field advantage at Gillette Stadium and noted key injuries for playoff opponents that weakened their offenses. The Patriots defeated the Texans and Chargers, teams that had strong regular-season defenses but entered their games undermanned by injuries to starters. Newton pointed to the Chargers' lost tackles and Houston's missing top receiver, and noted the upcoming Broncos matchup lacks their starting quarterback due to an ankle fracture. Newton framed these factors as diminishing the Patriots' playoff opposition.
