Johnny Manziel helps Browns snap losing streak with win over 49ers

“John-ny!” chants again reverberated through FirstEnergy Stadium on Sunday.

The Cleveland Browns beat the San Francisco 49ers 24-10, in one of the most well played, complete games the Browns have played all year.

The Dallas Cowboys had some tablet trouble in their Week 14 matchup at the Washington Redskins, so the National Football League probably is wishing Manziel would find another way to express his emotions.

Manziel passed for 270 yards, delivering a quality performance the Browns (3-10) desperately needed.

Here’s Johnny! I’m sure too much will be made about Johnny Manziel signing a $100 bill prior to the game, as ESPN reporter Pat McManamon filed a story about the matter before Manziel could even take a snap!

“We felt good about the run plan and the matchup”, Pettine said. I was more upset knowing that we are going to be watching that on film (on Monday).

Manziel regretted not only his decision but the outburst, which came after he tried to throw across his body and over the middle and was picked off by 49ers safety Jaquiski Tartt. Let it go.’ Learn from that and know that this isn’t freaking (Texas) A&M. “It would bother me more if he just “whatever” and walked off. If it’s towards himself over frustration from doing something bone-headed, I have no problem with it”.

Isaiah Crowell rushed for a career-high 145 yards and had two short TD runs for Cleveland, which won its first game in December since 2012.

After making game-winning plays last week, Gabbert finished the contest with 194 yards passing against the Browns, with most of those coming in garbage time.

The San Francisco 49ers were stale in every way on Sunday during their 24-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

“We all took a step backward today”, Tomsula added.

So, as I see them, I’m generally thankful that seasoned and wise observers of the game can write “film room” type articles to explain to me why the Cam Erving was supposed to drop back five yards and whiff at that blitzing linebacker instead of, say, dropping back two yards and just falling face-first on the ground in the hopes of tripping him. “He is a leader on the practice field, and then game day, he is a guy that wants a ball”.

Dawson will be a free agent after this season and was asked about returning to Cleveland. Crowell’s 50-yard run – the longest by a Cleveland back all season – set up the early touchdown, which came after Travis Coons had his 42-yard field-goal attempt blocked by the 49ers. One has to be happy for the select players on this team who have given their best week-in-and-week-out to get a win. He now has eight touchdowns on the season, only one behind the Browns single-season franchise record for a tight end. San Francisco is 1-6 in away games this season.
