Rivera pulled Newton and a other pivotal starters early in a fourth.
As Newton walked over to a bench, teammates DeAngelo Williams and Jordan Gross sat with towels over their conduct â€" some cooperative tantalizing destined during Newton, who has been criticized by some fans for covering his conduct when things weren't going well.
That drew a large grin from Newton.
So did a support he got from his teammates on a field.

The Bucs incited a round over 4 times.
"The mistakes led to points, and that's been a disproportion between this year and last," Morris said. "When we can't say possession, this is a result. It causes unilateral results.

Starting using behind LaGarrette Blount fumbled on Tampa Bay's initial play from scrimmage, heading to Olindo Mare's margin goal.
Blount was benched until a second half.
