              Marcel Louis-Jacques joined ESPN in 2019 as a beat reporter covering the Buffalo Bills, before switching to the Miami Dolphins in 2021. The former Carolina Panthers beat writer for the Charlotte Observer won the APSE award for breaking news and the South Carolina Press Association award for enterprise writing in 2018.

          While most of the offseason focus surrounding the Buffalo Bills' offense was on newcomer Stefon Diggs, fellow receiver John Brown has stood out in the first half of the team's season opener Sunday against the New York Jets in Buffalo.

          The seventh-year veteran caught his first touchdown pass of the season on a 17-yard screen pass from Josh Allen midway through the second quarter.

          Already with 42 yards on three catches up to that point, Brown corralled a low pass from Allen and sprinted untouched into the end zone to put the Bills up 21-0 over the Jets.

          Now in his second season in Buffalo, Brown set a career high with 1,060 receiving yards in 2019.
