CLEVELAND - They chased him. Julio Jones Youth Jersey . They taunted him. They made him look scared.The Cincinnati Bengals dismantled Johnny Manziel.Woe, Johnny.Manziel spent his first NFL start being tormented and taunted by Cincinnati defenders as the Bengals rudely welcomed the rookie quarterback to the league with a 30-0 drubbing of the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.Manziel didnt come close to living up to the exhausting expectations surrounding his overhyped debut as the AFC North-leading Bengals (9-4-1) built a 20-point halftime lead and rolled to their fourth straight road win.Everything was all about Manziel all week, Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga. We just focused on us. We just focused on what we needed to do to stop the kid.Promoted earlier this week over the slumping Brian Hoyer to spark the Browns (7-7), Manziel finished 10 of 18 for 80 yards and two interceptions. He was sacked three times, under pressure all afternoon and had Bengals players imitating his signature money-rubbing gesture more than once.Every time we hit him, every time we got him on his back, said defensive tackle Domata Peko. So it was a lot of money signs thrown out today.Manziel took the pasting in stride.It was tough, he said. When you get beat, you get beat and you take it like a man. I felt like it was a fail on my part. Bengals rookie Jeremy Hill rushed for 148 yards and two touchdowns, backing up his postgame trash talk of the Browns following a loss to them last month.The Bengals overwhelmed the Browns on the field and on the stat sheet, recording their first shutout since Dec. 21, 2008 — in Cleveland.Cincinnati had 347 yards to Clevelands 107. The Bengals picked up 24 first downs to five for the Browns, who went just 1 of 10 on third down.Mike Nugent, who missed practice time this week after his father died, kicked two 44-yard field goals and added a 34-yarder for the Bengals.Manziel didnt look ready for the big stage, panicking in the pocket and failing to deliver any of the magic that made him a college football star.Johnny Football has some work to do.Didnt play well — looked like a rookie, played like a rookie, Browns coach Mike Pettine said. We didnt play well around him, but he made some obvious mistakes that typically a veteran quarterback wont make.The Bengals put together a complete game to strengthen their grip on the division lead, maintaining their half-game lead over Baltimore and Pittsburgh, who both won.Cincinnati set the tone with a time-consuming, 81-yard touchdown drive to start the game and atoned for a 24-3 loss last month when they were dominated at home by the Browns.Cincinnati led 20-0 at halftime, and spent the next two quarters making sure Manziel never got going.The shutout capped a week in which Manziel was called a midget by Bengals coach Marvin Lewis, a comment that shows professionals arent ready to let him come in and wreck the league like he boasted he would do before the Browns selected him with the No. 22 overall pick.We didnt want to let him be Johnny Football versus us, said Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap.The Browns were blanked for the first time since a 16-0 loss to Baltimore in 2009.Manziels first half couldnt have gone much worse.He was intercepted twice and was lucky that a third pick was nullified by a penalty. The Browns managed just 58 total yards in the opening half and their best scoring chance ended when Manziel scrambled and forced a pass to the end zone that was intercepted by Adam Pacman Jones.You cant throw that one whether youre in Pop Warner or a 6-year-old playing in the driveway, Manziel said. Thats 100 per cent on me.Hill gave the Browns motivation with his postgame comments after last months loss, saying theyre probably worse than I thought despite Clevelands dominant performance. His 2-yard TD run gave the Bengals a 7-0 lead.After Nugents first field goal, Hill scored again, breaking several tackles on a 16-yarder. Hill tried to celebrate by leaping into the stands, but was turned back by a Browns fan wearing a Joe Haden jersey. It was one of the few times Cleveland stopped Cincinnati all day.NOTES: Browns star CB Joe Haden sustained a shoulder injury and CB Justin Gilbert got a concussion. Pettine said Haden will have an MRI on Monday. ... Hill had just 55 yards the previous time the teams played. He surpassed that in the first quarter. ...

Montreal head to Houston for the Eastern Conference Knockout Round match on Thursday (live on TSN at 8:30pm et), but the Impact will need to significantly improve their performance if they are to stand any chance of success. Its the very definition of backing into the playoffs. Montreals 1-0 loss at Toronto FC in their final game of the regular season took the clubs fate out of their own hands, and ensured a nervous 24 hours waiting and watching other teams trying to snatch their playoff place. Montreal fell from third to fifth during the course of the weekends action, but just held on thanks to New York Red Bulls win over Chicago Fire. It was a situation no-one would have expected in mid-season when the Impact were challenging at the top of the Eastern Conference. Marco Schallibaums men started the season as the form team in MLS, winning their first four matches, and amassing 29 points from 14 matches, but a late season slump saw the Impact drop down the standings. They head into the playoffs having won just once in eight matches and only earning four of a possible 24 points. Only DC United, the leagues worst team, took fewer points in the final eight games. Injuries have been an issue during the final stretch. With Alessandro Nesta and Jeb Brovsky missing games, Montreals depth at the back has been tested, and provided some minutes for youngsters Karl Ouimette, Maxim Tissot and Wandrille Lefevre. In midfield, Argentine Designated Player Hernan Bernadello and Canadian international Patrice Bernier have also spent time on the sidelines. Against Toronto, Montreal did have chances to tie the game and Reds goalkeeper Joe Bendik made some excellent saves, but the first half performance from the Impact was flat and the midfield battle was lost. Midfield is one of Houstons strengths, annd Montreals ability to grasp control of that area will likely go a long way to determining the outcome of the match. Deion Sanders Womens Jersey. . Boniek Garcia, Warren Creavalle, Ricardo Clark and Brad Davis have the ability to dictate the tempo and run the game from midfield so the Impact will need to ensure they dont allow the Dynamo to dominate that area of the pitch. Houston secured a playoff place thanks to a 2-1 win at DC United on the final day of the regular season and finished the season quite strongly, winning four of their last seven. One of those victories came against Montreal earlier this month, when they beat the Impact 1-0 at BBVA Compass Stadium with an early goal from Ricardo Clark. The Dynamo will have home advantage. They also have the benefit of having been in this position before. They won at Chicago Fire last year in the Knockout Round on their way to reaching MLS Cup for the second successive season. So Houston are clear favourites, but the Impact have matched up well against the Dynamo this year. In fact, in the two games played at Stade Saputo Montreal dominated against Houston, winning 2-0 in June, and then demolishing the Dynamo 5-0 in August. Even in the 1-0 loss in Texas a few weeks ago, Montreal had a few good chances to tie the game and could also have had a penalty called in their favour. Plus with 20 goal Marco Di Vaio in the ranks, theres always the chance they will get a goal. They just need to ensure the Italian gets the service he needs. Its set up to be an entertaining night in Texas. There has to be a winner, so if the match is tied after 90 minutes, there could be extra time and penalties. The winner will move on to the Eastern Conference Semifinal to face the MLS Supporters Shield winners New York Red Bulls over two legs, with the first match being played on Sunday. Montreal Impact at Houston Dynamo is live on MLS on TSN on Thursday night. The action starts at 8:30pm et on TSN with Luke Wileman, Jason deVos and Kristian Jack. ' ' '
