Bills WR Johnson puts up big plays on losing team

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Stevie Johnson’s season has gone much like the one-handed catch the Buffalo Bills receiver made last weekend.

It looked marvelous: Johnson leaping over the middle to snag the ball with one hand, bring it in and control it before he landed on the turf for a 25-yard gain. Trouble is, the drive stalled and Buffalo lost the game.

The best receiver on a perennial loser is sick of the losing but hasn’t been pouting or pointing fingers. On the verge of becoming the first Bills receiver to produce three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, the fifth-year pro is instead thinking about the best way to produce a winning culture in Buffalo.
