Johnson has questioned why a more experienced player wasn't targeted on the final offensive snap in a loss at New England last weekend. The receiver said rookie T.J.

Johnson said Graham wound up running a play he had never attempted in practice. Graham had been the intended receiver but ran behind McCourty rather than in front of him. He raised his concerns Tuesday as the Bills (3-6) prepare to host Miami (4-5) on Thursday night.
