The Browns defeat the 49ers 24-10 Sunday
“We’d have a lot more victories”.
“We know (Manziel) is agile in the pocket”, 49ers Ahmad Brooks said. Crowell and Johnson certainly agreed, and their performance had a big impact on quarterback Johnny Manziel, who played a solid game and made the most of his play-action opportunities.
Not only that, but he made an exaggerated first-down gesture and then raised his fist as if he’d just completed a 50-yard pass. What’s wrong with this dude?
CBS Sports hands out grades for every Week 14 game and the Browns, behind Manziel and Isaiah Crowell, get quality marks.
Johnny Manziel is signing money, so does that mean the money sign is returning?
The Manziel trade rumors have been flying for some time now to the point where credible sources like ESPN’s Adam Schefter are reporting that teams like the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco could be ready to make a move for the quarterback in the coming offseason. “I know these guys are going to be with me too”.
Ellington’s run ended with the 49ers slotting over a field goal, however Hayne still holds the record for the longest punt return at San Francisco for the season – 37 yards.
Sure, San Francisco isn’t exactly a good football team. Manziel may not fit the prototypical mold of an National Football League starter, but he’s not lost the trust of his teammates. “The kid has been enough of a gamer to merit a look for a while and if he keeps this up I could see owner Jimmy Haslam falling in love with him all over again (not that he ever totally ever turned on the kid, otherwise he’d already be gone)”. “We came in a little flat, and they took advantage of it. We have to get back to work and show everybody who the real 49ers are next week”. “The guys executed”, Pettine said.
“I don’t think I have words to do it justice”, an emotional Dawson said afterward. Crowell rushed for 145 yards and two touchdowns, while Johnson gained 78 yards on the ground.
Jim Tomsula’s team fell to 4-9 after becoming just the third team to lose to the lowly Browns this season. Crowell’s previous career best was 88 rushing yards past year at Atlanta.
Browns tight end Gary Barnidge said Manziel’s teammates “are going to be behind him no matter what”. The Browns drafted him in the second round to do the same in the NFL.
Anquan Boldin had two catches for 22 yards Sunday.
Crowell’s 1-yard run into the end zone gave the Browns a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. This time it was from 42 yards out. Terrelle Pryor was on the active roster for the Browns and listed as a wide receiver….
