After experiencing a setback last week, Manning returned to throwing on his own indoors this week. It’s just, ‘Let’s go, let’s have a good week, let’s work, ‘ and that’s what he did.

Johnny Manziel may not have had much of a reason to celebrate following the Cleveland Browns’ 17-13 loss to a now-playoff bound Kansas City Chiefs team at Arrowhead Stadium Sunday, but the second-year quarterback apparently had an enjoyable Christmas.

That worked against Pitt – Fuller thoroughly torched Pat Narduzzi’s stubborn cover-zero scheme – but didn’t against Clemson. Redshirt sophomores Donovan Munger and Tracy Sprinkle may also be called on to fill the void provided by Schutt’s injury.

“(Coach Reid) told us – ‘We clinched it, we’re in the dance, ‘” defensive end Mike DeVito said.

He views the move as a “suicidal mistake” since Virginia GOP is in a desperate need for fresh voters. He said the requirement does not target a particular candidate or group of voters.

The result means the 8-7 Redskins will play a home Playoff game against the No. 5 seeded team in the NFC. That’s a career best for him, topping his two previous seasons with the Chiefs (3,313 yards in 2013 and 3,265 yards in 2014.) It’s the most yards passing for a Chiefs quarterback since 2005 when Trent Green passed for 4,014 yards.

“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”.

A Smith interception halted a Chiefs drive in the second quarter, but Manziel gave the ball right back. And that’s pretty important for a franchise that has not had any success in the postseason since 1993, a year the club won a pair of playoff contests and then succumbed to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game. It kept the Browns in the game until the final seconds, but Manziel simply couldn’t find any room to run or throw in the red zone. The now 3-12 Browns held the ball for over 22 of the 30 minutes in the third and fourth quarters. The Jets play the New England Patriots and the Steelers play the Baltimore Ravens.

“There are a lot of adjustments that are happening in that route and he sees it the exact same way you do, and you trust him”, Smith said. “I thought we put some good drives together”. “I had plenty of time and was out of the pocket for the play and like I said, that’s one that really sticks out where we gave up points”. It is clear he has taken the last two as learning experiences and plans on being the “guy” for the Browns in the future.

“You look at the degree of an incident, so it would be hard for me to sit here and say, ‘We have a zero-tolerance policy, ‘ ” Pettine said at the time. “He ended up popping open, but I was just trying to make a play and I didn’t throw it away in time”.

The penalty backed up the offense 10 yards in addition to the loss of down, and after Manziel’s pass to Barnidge sailed incomplete, the Browns settled for a field goal.

Manziel’s scrambling ability was critical to a nine-play, 82-yard drive to begin the second half – his 34-yard run on the first play set the tone.

The Chiefs jumped out to a 17-3 halftime lead Sunday, but their offense became listless over the final two quarters, just as Manziel was pumping some life into the Browns (3-12). Kansas City played a rancid offensive game in the second half, failing to move the ball at all.
