BROWNS 28, TITANS 14 Johnny Manziel threw a 60-yard touch- down pass to Travis Benjamin on Cleveland’s second play and connected with his wide receiver again for a clutch 50-yarder with 2:52. Benjamin also returned a punt 78 yards for a TD in the first half as the Browns (1-1) got just their third home-opening win since 1999. Starting in place of injured Josh McCown, Manziel finished 8 of 15 for 172 yards. His last completion was vintage Johnny Football as Manziel spun to his left to avoid pressure and threw deep to Benjamin. Manziel won his Heisman Trophy matchup with Marcus Mariota, who threw two TD pass- es in the second half for the Titans (1-1), but took a pounding in his second game. The No. 2 overall pick was sacked seven times. BUCCANEERS 29, SAINTS 19 Jameis Winston passed for a touchdown and ran for another and Tampa Bay held on against mistake-prone New Orleans. Winston, who was intercepted twice and sacked four times in a losing NFL debut at home a week earlier, remained largely com- posed in the hostile Superdome. He complet- ed 14 of 21 passes for 207 yards and was not intercepted. He lost one fumble, but the Saints couldn’t cash in. RAIDERS 37, RAVENS 33 Derek Carr threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Seth Roberts with 26 seconds left to cap the most productive day of his young career and lead Oakland. Carr threw for a career-high 351 yards and three touchdowns and overcame a late inter- ception that put the Raiders (1-1) in a hole in the closing minutes.
