Week 11 against the Dolphins was undoubtedly John Brown’s best game with the Bills. The Dolphins secondary didn’t have any answers for the Bills’ No. 1 wideout.

Brown did it all against Miami. He scored twice, including the icing touchdown early in the fourth quarter when Josh Allen’s pass was tipped and still found him crossing the end zone. Brown totaled nine catches for 137 yards and two touchdowns against the Dolphins.

Brown looks like he’s turning into a Dolphin killer already, early in his Bills career. In his first meeting with Miami, Brown had five catches for 83 yards and a touchdown as well.

But the overall point here is: For the first time this season, the Bills offense actually carried the defense. The defensive unit let the Dolphins stick around for a bit, but 37 points, a season-high for the Bills offense, was put on the board. That deserves recognition.

For what it’s worth, Allen finished the game 21-for-33 passing for 256 yards with three touchdowns, along with six runs for 57 yards and another touchdown.
