Brown had by far the best performance so far, making an incredible 52-yard catch that set the Saints up in scoring range and putting New Orleans in incredible field position on the return game. He had a costly fumble on a punt return that prevented him from being an MVP candidate. With the Saints forgiving players quickly for mistakes, Brown will be involved primarily on special teams again, but the source wouldn't be surprised if they try to get another big play from him on offense.
