Disgraced former NFL star Johnny Manziel had a rough start in his first game as starter in the CFL when he threw four interceptions in the first half.
In his second game, Manziel got off to a much better start.
Here is Manziel picking up a nice gain early in the game.

Unfortunately, Manziel took a brutal hit to the head later in the game when he tried to run the ball into the endzone.

Here’s a closer look at the play.
A Johnny Manziel scramble to the endzone ended with this crushing hit and a fumble at the goal line.

It appears that Manziel was able to continue playing despite the hit but man he can’t be taking too many more of those.
