Don’t give up big plays to the Dolphins

The surprising news on Friday was that Will Fuller would miss this week due to personal reasons. The Dolphins big free agent addition this offseason was expected to return against the Bills after finishing his six-game suspension last week against the Patriots.

However, even without Fuller on the field the Miami Dolphins have a number of players that can break big plays that change the momentum of the game quickly. In Week 1 against the Patriots, the Dolphins had two passing plays that went for more than 30 yards and Myles Gaskin added two runs that went 15 yards.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that all four of those plays were part of the Dolphins’ three scoring drives.  If the Bills can limit the Dolphins’ abilities to pick up these big chunk plays, they will be in a much better position to win this week.
