Johnson had a strong finish with six catches for 111 yards in the Bills' win over the Jets on Sunday.|||||||
Johnson had more than 100 yards receiving in two of his last three games to finish with 1,046 on the season.
Johnson established season highs for catches (eight) and yards (115) on Sunday against Seattle while also scoring a touchdown.|||||||

It was the first 100-yard game since Dec. 11 for Johnson, who has 53 catches for 687 yards this season. He has topped 1,000 in each of the past two campaigns.
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. Graham shouldn't be faulted for running the wrong route that led to quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick having his pass intercepted by Devin McCourty in the end zone with 23 seconds left of a 37-31 loss.|||||||
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.
