BEREA, Ohio - Along with being sacked, taunted, embarrassed and generally mistreated Sunday by the Cincinnati Bengals, Johnny Manziel got humbled. Sam Gagner Flyers Jersey .The Browns rookie quarterback said Monday that his first NFL start, a 30-0 loss that essentially eliminated Cleveland from the playoffs, was the toughest day hes ever had on a football field.Its the first game Ive ever not scored a point in and been shut out, Manziel said. Ive played in a lot of games from high school through college, and that one, and Ive never been shut out until then. It was definitely tough.And humbling?Absolutely, he said. Very humbling.Unable to move Clevelands offence, Manziel completed just 10 of 18 passes for 80 yards. He was intercepted twice, chased around like a fox trying to escape hungry hounds and looked lost in the Browns biggest game of the season. This wasnt the debut he, legions of his fans or anyone in Clevelands organization had in mind when he was promoted to replace Brian Hoyer after 13 games.You just dont really envision that in your head when youre good throughout the week and you have a really good week of practice, Manziel said. You feel really confident and really prepared, and then something like that happens.The Browns ran just 38 offensive plays, gained 107 total yards, crossed the 50-yard line just once and got only five first downs — two of them via defensive penalties.The team was bad, Manziel was bad but coach Mike Pettine, whose decision to start Manziel is now being debated as aggressively as his choice to bench Hoyer last week, said the performance doesnt cast any doubts on his potential to be a franchise quarterback.I think its too small a sample size, Pettine said. When you look at how we played around him, I think its very unfair to judge what somebodys career is going to be like off of their first start. Im sure you could go back and find a lot of regrettable performances in the first start.Pettine reiterated the Browns (7-7) will stick with Manziel over the final two games against Carolina and Baltimore. The team isnt viewing it as an audition for Manziels future. Pettine said theres a chance the team could go into the off-season with its quarterback situation unclear because three games isnt long enough to accurately evaluate any quarterback.Well have a sense (of Manziel), but I still think there will be question marks, Pettine said. No matter what happens. Well have a sense, but its something that I dont think its going to confirm one way or the other the opinion. He could hit it out of the park the next two and there will still be doubts. He could not play very well the next two, thered be a ton of doubts.Manziel said watching film of the game wasnt any better than living through it the first time. The Browns were manhandled by the Bengals from start to finish.I dont think theres anything from that game getting beat 30-0 thats going to sit there and make you pump your fist, Manziel said. But just going through some progressions, I feel like there was just some miscommunications, there were some times we were off, one person was off and it takes all 11 guys to make the whole thing work.True, but the focus is usually on the one behind centre, and Manziel was lambasted by some of his harshest critics.Im not really listening to any outside noise or what anybody else has to say, Manziel said. I know that I need to play better and if I dont, people are going to continue to say things like that.Manziel wasnt the only who were fed a helping of humility by the Bengals.That type of game humbles all of us, Pettine said. We had been able to do some things in the past that we werent able to do. Thats something that — as an organization, coaches, staff and team — weve got to regroup, and weve got to regroup in a hurry.NOTES: Pettine said Browns star CB Joe Haden is day-to-day with a bruised shoulder suffered Sunday. ... Rookie CB Justin Gilbert left with a head injury, but Pettine said he was not diagnosed with a concussion. ... Pettine did not see the Browns fans who stopped Bengals rookie RB Jeremy Hill from jumping into the stands after a touchdown. He should be commended, Pettine joked.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Michael Del Zotto Flyers Jersey .

Mike Scott had 14 points, Dennis Schroder scored 12 and the two bench players led a 20-0 run that helped give the Hawks a 64-28 lead at halftime. Atlanta improved to 2-1 on a four-game homestand with its 12th win in the last 14 games against Charlotte. Elton Brand, who scored nine points off the bench, said its fun playing in a blowout because theres no pressure. Atlantas reserves, led by Scott and Schroder, scored 52 points in the game. At some point in the season were going to be needed, Brand said. So to get preparation, in-game experiences, its great for us.

Hairston had 15 points off the bench in the loss and Gerald Henderson scored 14. Henderson said its not easier to blow off a lopsided loss than it is a close one. No, bbecause this should be the time when we are at our hungriest, he said. Claude Giroux Flyers Jersey Authentic. We didnt play very hungry tonight. The Hawks 20-0 run spanned the first and second quarter and gave them a 41-17 lead. The bench got most of the points, with Scott scoring seven and Schroder knocking down a pair of 3-pointers, including one to punctuate the run. The Hawks shot 61 percent in the first half for their big lead -- including almost 77 percent in the second quarter, when they missed just four of their 17 shots. Charlotte shot under 26 percent in the half and made just four of its 20 shots in the second quarter. The lead reached 44 points less than four minutes into the third quarter and was never smaller than 27 after that. Game Notes The Hornets are 1-11 since beating the Hawks 122-119 in overtime on Nov. 7 for their second straight win ... The Hawks finish their homestand on Tuesday against Boston ... The Hornets are off until Wednesday, when they play Chicago to start a three-game homestand.
