Late payment rate on auto loans post uptick in 3Q, but remains near lowest point since '99
• LOS ANGELES (AP) -- More Americans fell behind on their auto-loan payments in the third quarter, when back-to-school shopping and other needs traditionally put a strain on consumers' wallets.
• But the uptick is likely only a seasonal blip in an otherwise multiyear decline in auto-loan delinquencies, reporting agency TransUnion said Tuesday.
• The rate of U.S. auto-loan payments at least 60 days overdue rose to 0.38 percent from 0.33 percent in the second quarter, the company said.
• That represents only a slight uptick from the second quarter, which marked the lowest delinquency rate on TransUnion's records going back to 1999.
• The July-to-September delinquency rate also was down 19 percent from the 0.47 percent rate a year earlier, the firm said.

Cam Newton's 4 TDs lead Panthers to 30-22 win over Eagles
• PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- This was the Cam Newton who was the talk of the NFL last season.
• Newton threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more to lead the Carolina Panthers to a 30-22 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night in a matchup of teams with the worst records in the NFC.
• Newton, who hadn't played up to his sensational rookie season, showed no signs of a sophomore slump against Philadelphia's porous pass defense. He finished 18 of 28 for 306 yards and had a passer rating of 125.
• "I think my best game is still to come," Newton said. "I'm still focused on getting better each and every week."
• Bryce Brown set a club rookie record with 178 yards rushing, including TD runs of 65 and 5 yards, but the Eagles (3-8) still lost their seventh straight game.
