Cleveland had two separate chances to win the game late but a 4th down incompletion caused the first drive to end.

The game against Cleveland wasn’t pretty, but it’s a win.

The Browns dropped to an abysmal 3-12 record following Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs, though the Manziel-led squad put up a good fight until the final seconds of the game.

While Kansas City’s ninth consecutive win is a fantastic storyline after the 1-5 start to its season, they needed help in the AFC to punch a ticket to the playoffs with either a Jets or Steelers loss.

Dec 27, 2015, Kansas City, MO, USA; Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel (2) is called for intentional grounding while pressured from Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Dee Ford (55) in the second half at Arrowhead Stadium. “All he cares about is winning, but credit to him”.

Bryant, who was inactive against the Chiefs in the wake of an off-field incident, finishes his third season with 40 tackles and 5.5 sacks.

“The older guys, myself included, our job is to bring the younger guys along and let them know it’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon”.

Yet another video of Johnny Manziel partying has emerged, this one apparently taken from Christmas Eve that would appear to be the kind of thing, the Cleveland Browns, told him not to do. But Cleveland, facing a fourth and 8 with nothing to lose, ran a fake punt up the middle, just like Baltimore did to the Chiefs last week. However, he struggled throwing the ball, hitting only 31 percent of his throws (13 of 32) with one interception.

Imagine Manziel and Josh Gordon together… that’s a scary thought. I’m just not going to go into a ton of detail with it until I get a little bit more information about it, but it’s something that I’m sure privately we’ll discuss if it needs to be discussed’. Nevertheless, time expired before Manziel could get another snap off. The Browns moved to the K.C. 18-yard line, but Cleveland did not have any timeouts left, and Manziel could not stop the game clock before it ran out.

“If you go back to where he was essentially a year ago to now, he has covered a lot of ground personally”, Pettine said. “You just have to find that small window”.

Quarterback Alex Smith completed 15 of 22 passes for a season-low 125 yards. Then, after forcing three-and-out, they added a field goal for a 10-0 lead.

The Browns got a 45-yard field goal from Travis Coons midway through the second quarter.

In addition, Maclin, the Chiefs’ prized free agent signing in Marcy, did it in grand fashion, hauling in an 11-yard touchdown catch on the team’s opening drive. Manziel is the first Browns quarterback to top 100 rushing yards in a game. The Chiefs host the Oakland Raiders next Sunday. A second look after they won back-to-back games showed that strength of schedule had everything to do with the slow start and it also gave fans reason to believe that the team could win out the rest of their season. The Chiefs will watch the Monday night game between Cincinnati and Denver with great interest. Expect the Chiefs’ run defense to be shored up whenever Tamba Hali and Justin Houston return from their injuries. Gary Barnidge was his usual dependable self, finding open spots in the defense and providing a safety valve for Manziel through the air. Terrell Owens, Kevin Curtis and DeSean Jackson all made it when they were with the Philadelphia Eagles.

All of which is why he’s the first Chiefs wide receiver with more than 1,000 yards since Dwayne Bowe in 2011, and only the fourth under Reid to reach that mark. He did not catch a pass…. It if the second time in three years under head coach Andy Reid that the team has reached the postseason, and now the possibilities are exciting.
