Before A.J. Brown and the Tennessee Titans could beat the Buffalo Bills on Monday night, Brown had to overcome food poisoning.

Heading into the game, Brown was listed as "questionable" as he had been dealing with an illness. He received IVs before the game to help get him into playing shape.

Despite not feeling 100%, Brown shined on the field, finishing the game with 7 catches for 91 yards, helping the Titans to an upset win. Statistically, it was Brown's best game of the season.

After the win, Brown addressed the stomach issues that had plagued him leading up to the game. Asked what had caused his internal distress, Brown laughed.

"I'm sorry Chipotle, but Chipotle got me," Brown told ESPN through a smile. "I'm sorry."

Brown told the same to reporters after the game. "Chipotle. I'm sorry, Chipotle. Probably won't get an endorsement with Chipotle," Brown said.

Thankfully for Brown, even with his insides all mixed up, he had a group of teammates that were ready to support him.

"I just made sure we had enough toilet paper for him," running back Derrick Henry told reporters in his post-game press conference.

Spirits were high after the Titans escaped with a win, and even Brown was getting in on the jokes, comparing his effort on the field to Michael Jordan's infamous flu game in an Instagram post.

Best of luck to Brown and his digestive system moving forward.
