Many remember Kenny Stills for his awful drop in Week 1, and that’s a shame, because he’s one of the NFL’s most under-appreciated deep threats.

Kenny Stills is so darn good at getting open, and it’s been awesome to see Adam Gase using him more often. In his second season with the Miami Dolphins, Stills had just 11 receptions through the team’s first six games, but he’s been an important playmaker with 19.7 yards per reception.

Today, Stills added yet another long touchdown to his record, bringing up his touchdown total on the season to three.

That touchdown went for 66 yards. Stills came back to the ball, and he smartly made a cut that caused the safety to collide with cornerback Ronald Darby. From then on, it was an easy six for Stills, who reached 100 receiving yards in a game for the first time this season by making that catch.

On a day in which Jay Ajayi (214) had more yards than Ryan Tannehill (204), plays like that from Stills were important. After trailing the Bills for the meat of the game, the Dolphins outplayed Buffalo in the fourth quarter, outscoring them 14-0 to that point in the contest. Following Stills’s 66-yard score, the Dolphins had a 28-17 lead on the LeSean McCoy-less (left the game with a hamstring injury) Bills.

Outside of Kenny Stills, only Jarvis Landry was making noise for the Dolphins passing game, as Miami’s best wide receiver had five receptions for 78 yards of his own. Meanwhile, the Bills passing game had struggled and only Marquise Goodwin’s long touchdown was a noteworthy play for Buffalo’s offense.
