Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel has a golden opportunity in front of him this week, and he’s making the most of it to start the game against the Tennessee Titans.
On his first pass attempt of the contest, Manziel lofted a perfect pass to Travis Benjamin, who waltzed into the end zone for the 60-yard score.
Here is a look at the video of the phenomenal play.

Manziel and Benjamin hooked up in Week 1 as well on a 52-yard touchdown, so perhaps this is going to be a regular occurrence for the Browns going forward. This score put Cleveland up 7-0 to open the contest.
Johnny Football is starting this game in place of Josh McCown, who is out with a concussion. If he continues to make big plays like this, and can keep the ball from falling into the hands of the enemy, then the Browns will have a quarterback controversy on their hands.
