Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel led the team on a second-half comeback in Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, but came up just short.
Trailing 17-3 in the third quarter, the Browns rattled off 10 unanswered points on the road and nearly pulled off the upset in the end.
Manziel was extremely inaccurate in the first half, as he completed only 13 of 32 passes in the game for 136 yards (one interception), and that’s what really hurt the team. He did rush 11 times for 108 yards, however, including a 34-yard scamper.
And maybe if the Browns had time to run just a few more plays, or an extra timeout, they would’ve emerged victorious. Manziel moved the chains on 4th-and-10 late in the game with a 14-yard completion, which put the team on the Chiefs’ 18-yard line. But the Browns could not line up in time for him to spike the ball, and time ran out.
Manziel reacted accordingly.
