Browns may bench Johnny Manziel for party video
Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine said a video allegedly showing Johnny Manziel partying over the team's bye week was "disappointing" and hinted he is considering benching the sophomore quarterback.
"When it's a repeated pattern of behavior, it's a concern," Pettine added. Manziel was just named the Browns' starter after his best performance as a pro against the Pittsburgh Steelers before the bye, but it is clear Pettine is fed up with the repeated off-field issues. Pettine confirmed Josh McCown has been medically cleared and is ready to start if needed. McCown threw for 457 yards and two scores Week 5 against the Ravens.
Baltimore ranks 16th in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points per play. We project Manziel to throw for 235 yards, 1.66 touchdowns and 1.25 picks against the Ravens, adding 16 yards and 0.10 touchdowns on the ground.
