Riders pick up the win in Montreal
Johnny Manziel finally got his first CFL touchdown, but the quarterback wants to start winning football games.
Manziel threw two touchdowns in a losing effort as the surging Saskatchewan Roughriders beat the Montreal Alouettes 34-29 on Sunday afternoon.
“If we would have come out here and gotten a win, and there were zero touchdown passes on the board, I would be sitting here happier than I am right now,” said Manziel, who’s still looking for his first victory of the season. “But I got the monkey off my back.”
Manziel completed 9 of 16 passes for 138 yards. The former Heisman Trophy winner added 45 yards on the ground. He was sacked five times.
