Scare him into sacks and mistakes and keep their scoring down. He hasn't really played worth a crap since coming to the NFL, and he better not start today.
And then at 4:30 it will be fun, watching NE at the Giants. I'll root for the Giants, only to see NE lose their unbeaten streak. But if the game gets out of hand, and the Giants blow it, I hope NE wins like 74-0.
As long as the defense shows and plays their game, Manziel won't be too much of an issue. He doesn't fit the Cleveland offense. THAT is what his problem is. He needs a West Coast offense type to be effective. BUT it IS an inter-divisional rivalry, so who knows?
Not sure I'd risk a season-ending injury on my star QB over one game though.
