The visitors lost 39-17 to the Blues at Eden Park, in a game dominated by the match officials.
Highlanders lock Josh Dickson was yellow-carded at the end of the first half following a series of offside infringements.
Brown says they need to double down their defensive discipline to cope with the pace of the game.
That's in contrast to Blues coach Leon MacDonald calling for a more consistent approach to the laws.
A would-be length of the field try to Rieko Ioane was overturned when the TMO ruled a forward pass from brother Akira.
MacDonald says physics tells you that a legitimate pass at full pace will go forward.
