Whatever divine deal Johnny Manziel pulled during the offseason paid off today. He got some field time, made some type of lucky, very Manziel play, and put points on the board.
This came at Josh McCown's expense. The starter had the cojones to try to pull a head first dive into the endzone. He fumbled the ball and got a concussion for his effort.
You know what that means. Behold. Jets/Browns has become Johnny Football time. And it may be Jonny Football time for the rest of the season; he may have jacked McCown for that starting role when he immediately found Travis Benjamin for a 54-year touchdown.

What's more? Manziel delivered one of his typical, so-accidental-it-had-to-be-divine-intervention plays. It looked like Manziel overthrew his target and screwed himself into his first interception of the season. The receiver — Brian Hartline, who was behind what looked like Manziel's intended target — was on his knees, after all. But nah.
Johnny Football, guys.
