— -- CLEVELAND --  Johnny Manziel flashes money signs when he reaches the end zone, but Bengals defensive lineman Wallace Gilberry beat him to it in the rookie's first NFL start.

Gilberry sacked Manziel deep in the backfield on the Browns' second drive Sunday and displayed the quarterback's signature move to the FirstEnergy Stadium crowd.

he Browns recorded three-and-outs on Manziel's first two drives as an NFL starter. On the sack, Manziel appeared ready to hand off to running back Isaiah Crowell but kept the ball, allowing Gilberry to quickly pounce.

Manziel started the game 1-of-3 for 4 yards and an interception in his first three drives, including an accurate throw on the run to receiver Andrew Hawkins that was dropped and a pass to Hawkins by the sideline that cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick picked off.

The Bengals jumped to a 17-0 lead thanks to two touchdown runs by Jeremy Hill, who attempted to leap into the stands after the second score but was rejected by a Browns fan.
