Johnny Manziel signs $100 bill, slams tablet against his head

He appeared to sign the bill “Money Manziel”, a reference to the nickname he had when he was at Texas A&M.

Dalton tried to make a shovel pass to running back Giovani Bernard, but defensive end Stephon Tuitt picked it off at the 7-yard line.

Manziel’s newfound poise was once again on display, as he finished the afternoon completing 21 of 31 passes for 270 yards and a touchdown. His passer rating was 92.1.

Crowell had 145 rushing yards and two scores on 20 carries Sunday, season highs across the board.

Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is back on the sideline with his right hand in a black cast. “I’m happy for the guys, and the coaches did a great job getting us prepared. Then I looked at the Surface (tablet). Well, if you were looking for what we traditionally view as positive results”. “We’re a pretty good team, me and him”.

The bottom line is the 49ers let Johnny Manziel beat them, and that in itself is bad. His rating for the season is 89.2.

“Yeah, it’s much better”, Manziel said. “I had said over the weekend that I thought it would take four blowout losses for Jim Tomsula to get fired”.

Isaiah Crowell and Duke Johnson provided the highlight of the season for the Browns’ moribund ground game. If Manziel continues his improvement against those quality opponents, the Browns might be willing to invest more time in him. He did so with a cast of injured receivers that only got worse as time went on.

The opportunity to correct what was displayed in Cleveland will come against another AFC North foe. He caught eight balls for 107 yards. Besides Marcus Martin and Daniel Kilgore rotating at center early on, left guard Alex Boone was lost for the game with a knee injury early in the second half. DB Donte Whitner, DB Jordan Poyer and LB Christian Kirksey each added one while rookie DL Xavier Cooper had.5. Whatever it was that got the Browns to play the way they played on Sunday, it needs to happen week in and week out. Winston was a captain for the Browns as he was with the 49ers in training camp 2014 before being released and claimed by the Browns.

The Browns have three more very tough games left with the Seahawks, Chiefs, and Steelers. They were the first two sacks of Orchard’s career.

Nice Play: LB Christian Kirksey dropped former Browns RB Shaun Druaghn in the open field on a short pass on third down forcing a punt. If the Cleveland Browns decide to move him in the off-season, suitors have emerged for the talented player, such as the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers. Margini was the head coach of the Browns from 2009-11.

NOTES: RB Shaun Draughn started for 49ers rushing leader Carlos Hyde…. That eventually might calm the angst over the reported $100,000 study of the quarterback position before the 2014 draft commissioned by the Browns that said they should select Bridgewater. They have some good wide receivers and tight ends.

The 49ers took control at their 42 but went three-and-out. Like Smith, Gabbert seems to trade sacks for risky passes.
