Johnny Manziel’s Dud Debut
Published at
Elsa/Getty Images(CLEVELAND) — With all the hype surrounding Sunday’s debut of Johnny Manziel, not much can be said after a 30-0 beat down at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Cleveland Browns first round quarterback was downright dreadful; completing 10-18 passes for 80 yards and two interceptions. He was also sacked three times.
Manziel seemed lost and confused. While under pressure, “Johnny Football” panicked, his mechanics became sloppy and he began to stare down receivers. The same magic that captured highlights in college were lowlights on the NFL stage.
The Bengals (9-4-1) ran the ball all over the Browns, as rookie Jeremy Hill pounded the rock for 148 yards on 25 carries including two touchdowns.
This latest loss will likely cripple the Browns playoff chances as they have now dropped four of their last five and their record falls to 7-7.
