We've all been waiting for this.

The Cleveland Browns felt they had to make a change on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills after watching starting quarterback Brian Hoyer struggle through three quarters. Hoyer had a decent completion percentage, but he threw two interceptions and didn't seem in sync with his receivers.

And with the Browns down by 17 points in the fourth, they decided to go with Johnny Manziel. And the first-round pick immediately sparked Cleveland's offense. He led the Browns on an eight-play, 80-yard drive in 3:14 that ended with this:

And it came complete with a money sign!

Not a bad drive, although it was too late to save the Browns on this day. The Bills went on to win 26-10. Despite the loss, it seems as though Manziel breathed some new life into Cleveland.
