KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs coaching staff didn’t hold back the past week on complimenting Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel. “He’s an explosive player, makes a lot of things happen,” coach Andy Reid said. “He’s great at extending plays. “From a defensive standpoint, you’ve got to make sure you play the whole play, and then a little.
