Michael Sam sacked Johnny Manziel, then taunted him with his own move

Michael Sam got the better of Johnny Football Saturday when the defensive lineman sacked, then taunted, the Browns quarterback.

Sam also sacked Manziel a second time in the game, though the above clip captured him celebrating the first with Manziel's little finger-rubbing money gesture. Given that Sam and Manziel are the most-discussed NFL rookies this year, and that preseason football is woefully boring, the play should give ESPN enough fare for the next week or so of programming.
