Browns

HC Mike Pettine said that rookie QB Johnny Manziel “didn’t play well” against the Bengals, but confirmed that he will be the team’s starter in Week 16.

“He didn’t play well. He looked like a rookie, played like a rookie. I know a lot of it was we didn’t play well around him, but he made some obvious mistakes that typically a veteran quarterback won’t make,” Pettine said, via the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
