Vine: Johnny Football scores first NFL touchdown, then ruins it

Johnny Football is up and he's running

Ben Kiely

One of the hottest prospects in American football has bagged his first touchdown in the NFL.

Johnny Manziel, aka Johnny Football, made his NFL debut when he replaced Brian Hoyer with the Cleveland Browns trailing the Buffalo Bills after Hoyer’s lacklustre performance. The rookie quarterback had an immediate impact when he came in, running for his first NFL touchdown.

However, it was a far from perfect game for Manziel, as famous for his party-hard lifestyle as his on-field heroics at Texas A&M . The Browns’ hotshot fumbled the ball near his own goalline and it looked like it was recovered for a Bills touchdown, but the officials reversed the call, somewhat fortunately, to an incomplete pass.

If for some strange reason you’re reading this, Johnny, you might want to look away now, as you took a big shot in the process.
