Certain players play their best against certain teams. For example, in this area, Santana Moss was dubbed "The Cowboy Killer" for constantly dominating Dallas, DeSean Jackson has shown quite a liking to flying past Eagles defenders since becoming a Redskin, and Joe Flacco puts up better numbers against the Patriots than most QBs do.

Now, while Cam Newton has faced Washington just thrice so far in his NFL career, he's still well on his way to gaining a reputation as a guy who burns the Burgundy and Gold. So before he matches up with them for a fourth time this Monday night, it's a good time to review his previous track record against the Redskins.

Some stats:

Since he was drafted by the Panthers in the 2011 draft, the former No. 1 overall pick is 3-0 vs. the 'Skins. In those contests (which took place in 2011, 2012 and last season, 2015), Carolina has won by 13, eight and 28 points.

As a passer, he's completed 52 of 80 passes (good for a 65 percent completion rate, which is six-plus ticks higher than his career rate), 703 yards (an average of 234 per week) and seven touchdowns (with five coming in the blowout a year ago). He's never finished with a QB rating below 100 when throwing on the Redskins' defense.

Of course, Newton doesn't just do damage through the air. He's also rushed for a pair of six-pointers, and overall, has 22 carries for 112 yards in the referenced games.

For a guy who can sometimes be prone to turnovers, that issue isn't one when the Redskins are his opponent. The sixth-year pro has yet to throw a pick or fumble against the team.

The 2016 Panthers are just 5-8, but shouldn't be taken lightly, especially by a franchise desperate to make the playoffs for a second consecutive season. On top of that, though it's only three games, Newton has shown to be very comfortable versus Washington, and will have another chance to add to those numbers on a national stage.

An easy way to tell how things are going Monday at FedEx Field will be the amount of times No. 1 is shown smiling. If you see his teeth a lot, then that likely means he's solved the Redskins' defense yet again. But if his time on camera doesn't often include a grin, then that'll be a good indicator that he's finally run into some trouble with a group he usually owns.
