Bengals-Browns Line at Pick’em: Johnny Manziel a ‘Midget’ Says Cincy Coach

The Bengals-Browns betting line was coming in at a PICK’EM amidst a quarterback controversy in Cleveland: To start or not start Johnny Manziel. 

An even greater controversy arose Monday as Cincinnati head coach Marvin Lewis referred to Manziel as “a midget”.

"You gotta go defend the offense. You don't defend the player," Lewis said before adding, "Particularly a midget."

Lewis later apologized for his remark.

"I apologize to Johnny, the Browns and all the fans in Cleveland," Lewis said. "It was just a poor remark. I really didn't mean anything by it."

65% of those betting this game were backing the Bengals early.
