Stevie Johnson: 'EJ Manuel has earned our respect'

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson hails the maturity of rookie quarterback EJ Manuel.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson has revealed that rookie quarterback EJ Manuel has earned the respect of his teammates.

Manuel threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Johnson in the dying seconds of the Bills' match against the Carolina Panthers yesterday to secure a dramatic 24-23 win for the AFC East side.

"I'm not surprised. EJ doesn't seem like a rookie. He earned a lot of our respect," Johnson told The AP.

"He was focused. He was locked in. He was in there like a number one quarterback."

The win takes the Bills to 1-1 for the season, while the Panthers have lost their opening two matches.
