Marcus Mariota’s Week 2 counterpart started much stronger than Jameis Winston did Week 1.
Winston threw a pick six on his first NFL pass attempt last Sunday before Mariota and the Tennessee Titans mopped the floor with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Johnny Manziel, who started Week 2 for the Cleveland Browns in place of injured quarterback Josh McCown, clearly had bigger plans for his showdown with Mariota and Co.

Johnny Football hooked up with Travis Benjamin for a 60-yard touchdown in the first quarter of Sunday’s Browns-Titans game. It’s the second consecutive week Manziel found Benjamin for a long TD, as the polarizing QB fired a 54-yard bomb to Benjamin after taking over for McCown in Week 1.
