Johnny Manziel escapes pass rushers, pump fakes and almost scores rushing TD
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Johnny Manziel needed to “prove himself” ahead of the Browns’ game against the Steelers, and he’s doing just that. Manziel has single-handedly been doing everything for Cleveland on offense, and right now he’s 25/30, 273 yards, while adding another 17 yards on the ground. This means that he’s responsible for over 95 percent of the team’s offense today.
Just watch this play: Manziel escapes two pass rushers, pump fakes to bait a dive from the linebacker and then he turns the wheels on and almost gets a touchdown. The worst part is that Cleveland couldn’t follow up and punch it in despite this herculean effort. Give him a little help, Browns.
