          Eifert, Johnson receive game balls in Bengals win (1:45)

          CINCINNATI -- A look at Cleveland Browns players who were "up" and those who were "down" in Thursday’s 31-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

          UP

          The first-half Johnny Manziel: He was adept, composed and able to make plays on the run as he threw for 128 yards and a touchdown.

          Duke Johnson: It wasn't exactly a sterling effort, but Johnson had the team's only touchdown and led the Browns with 38 receiving yards.

          DOWN

          The second-half Johnny Manziel: He described the last two quarters as "eerily familiar" to the debacle of his rookie debut, as he completed only 4 of 15 passes and scored no points.

          Randy Starks: He accounted for 20 yards in penalties by himself on a Bengals touchdown drive.

          Taylor Gabriel: He dropped three passes, among them a tough and contested catch in the back of the end zone that could have been a touchdown.
