"Our players' health and well-being will always be of the utmost importance to the Cleveland Browns," Farmer said. "We continu- ally strive to create a sup- portive environment and provide the appropriate re- sources, with our foremost focus being on the individ- ual and not just the football player." Citing privacy laws, a Browns spokesman de- clined to provide any fur- ther information about Manziel's situation. Browns wide receiver Andrew Hawkins offered his support to Manziel on Twitter. "Much love and support to my brother Johnny," Hawkins wrote. "Proud of him, big step. Football is secondary. God Bless!" Manziel, who won the Heisman as a freshman at Texas A&M where his play- making skills earned him his "Johnny Football" nick- name, has faced questions for several years about his active nightlife. After he was drafted in May by the Browns in the first round, Manziel was repeatedly photographed drinking al- cohol during weekend trips to Las Vegas. A photograph of Manziel floating on an inflatable swan raft swig- ging a bottle of champagne went viral. The Browns became in- creasingly concerned about Manziel when a photo sur- faced of Manziel holding a rolled bill in a bathroom. Manziel often dismissed criticism about his behav- ior, insisting he wasn't go- ing to let others dictate to him how to live his life. However, following the season, Manziel seemed embarrassed by some of his choices and vowed to change his ways. "It's about actions," he somberly told reporters on Dec. 29. "It's about be- ing accountable and doing what I'm going to say. ... I'm either going to learn or I'm going to be finding some- thing else to do." The Browns have made it clear to Manziel that they expect more from him if he wants to be their leader. "Johnny has to show on and off the field he can be a professional," owner Jimmy Haslam said on Jan. 22. "He knows that. Everybody in the organization has told him that. He knows what we expect of him on and off the field and it's up to him to prove he can do that." Manziel FROM PAGE 1 end of this two times in the last seven years, be- ing ahead late in the game with the chance to win it, and not closing it out," Brady said of losses in 2008 and 2012 to the New York Giants. "I'm glad we had the opportunity to do it. Coach talked all week about how it was going to take all 60 minutes and it certainly did. "It never broke our will. We were down 10 in the fourth quarter and (Se- attle) being on the 1-yard line with 20 seconds left, but the guys never gave up. And you fight until the end and great things happen." Brady knows all about great things, obviously. A two-time league MVP, he threw for four touchdowns against the NFL's stingiest defense, and led a come- back from a 10-point defi- cit through three quarters. He connected on all eight of his throws on the deci- sive drive that ended with a 3-yard TD pass to Julian Edelman. Brady is 37 and has said he hopes to play well into his 40s, and he works hard to stay in top physical shape. So he doesn't see his winning toss to Edelman as his final Super Bowl mo- ment. But he certainly recog- nizes how difficult the jour- ney is. "Yeah, absolutely," he said. "I was a young kid when we won those first three. I know in '04 after we beat the Eagles, I was like, 'I'm just ready for this to be over, get the offsea- son started,' just because we had experienced it. Ob- viously, with some perspec- tive of that game, it's a hard thing to get here and then it's a hard thing to win the game. "Playing against the other best team, obviously, one play here, one play there, all things change, and we've been on the other end of that, too. So I'm just proud that we re- ally got a chance to finish it out." His coach, Bill Belich- ick, recognizes the value of a likely first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback run- ning his offense. When the Patriots were being domi- nated by the Seahawks in the third quarter Sunday, Belichick understood that if they could keep it close, they had the closer. "He's a great player," Belichick said. "It's been a great privilege to coach Tom for the last 15 years, 14 years as starting quar- terback. We have a great relationship. We meet on a regular basis weekly sev- eral times. Brady FROM PAGE 1 By Howard Ulman The Associated Press The Patriots top wide re- ceiver was leveled by Se- ahawks safety Kam Chan- cellor after a 21-yard com- pletion with just under 11 minutes left in New Eng- land's 28-24 win over Seat- tle on Sunday night. After that series, Edel- man was checked on the New England sideline by medical staff and an inde- pendent neurologist and cleared to return, said the person who spoke on con- dition of anonymity be- cause he was not autho- rized to discuss the matter. Patriots coach Bill Belich- ick said Monday he doesn't handle medical issues. "I'm a coach and I had a deal with our trainers and doctors," he told reporters during a news conference the morning after winning the NFL title. "They're the medical experts and they don't call plays, and I'm the coach and I don't get in- volved in the medical part. When they clear players to play, then if we want to play them we play them. The plays we call, I don't have to get approval from them. It's a good setup." Under the NFL's concus- sion protocol, team doc- tors are ultimately respon- sible for diagnosing concus- sions and deciding whether to allow players to return to games, though indepen- dent neurologists help on sidelines and unaffiliated athletic trainers review re- plays to help recognize po- tential injuries. Before a player can re- turn to a game, teams are required to complete a two- page sideline assessment, looking for obvious signs of a concussion and test- ing other things like orien- tation, concentration and recall. The protocol is then compared with baseline tests taken in the preseason. After the game, Edelman said, "we're not allowed to talk about injuries." Brady, who won his third Super Bowl MVP award, said Edelman ran a great route on the play but Chan- cellor was able to get a "good shot on him." "Yeah, he took a big hit on what I thought, obvi- ously, (was) one of the big plays of the game," Brady said. "He got up and kept running. Obviously, they ruled him down, but it was a huge hit." Edelman stayed in the game and four snaps later, caught a 21-yard pass to the 4. Two plays later, Brady threw one of his four touch- downs to Danny Amendola to cut Seattle's lead to 24-21. On the third play of the 10-play series he caught a 9-yard completion. And on the 10th play, from the 3-yard line, he spun around backup cornerback Thar- old Simon on the left side and caught a 3-yard scor- ing pass for the 28-24 lead with 2:02 left. "Coach called a re- turn route," Edelman said. "They hit hard so we had to take advantage of our ... strengths (which) are our quickness and we were able to do that."
