Newton took several shots to the head earlier in the season against the Denver Broncos, and he said he feels like he's held to a different standard than other star quarterbacks in the league.
During his press conference after the 30-20 win over the Cardinals, Newton said he wanted to discuss his health with Roger Goodell.
