HOUSTON (SportsRadio 610) -- Before Sunday's game, Kenny Stills had two touchdown catches all season.
The veteran wide receiver became an integral part of the Texans offense almost as soon as he was traded from the Dolphins, along with left tackle Laremy Tunsil.
Stills scored a touchdown in the Texans' season-opening loss to the New Orleans Saints, but didn't see the end zone again until the win against the New England Patriots.
He doubled that output against the Titans, scoring both of the Texans' second quarter touchdowns to help give them a 14-0 lead at halftime.
The first touchdown he caught Sunday was a 12-yard pass from Deshaun Watson which, according to NFL Next Gen Stats, had just a 25.5 percent completion probability.
"The first one was just man coverage and it was a foot race to the back of the end zone," Stills said after the game. "Deshaun (Watson) threw a perfect ball. The second one he checked to a man beater and they were playing man, and he threw another perfect ball."
Next Gen determines completion probability by taking into account factors such as air distance, yards and receiver separation among other metrics.

Texans head coach Bill O'Brien has talked about how much they need Stills, because he does so many different things.
Stills can line up in the slot, or out wide.
When second-year slot receiver Keke Coutee has struggled at times this season, Stills has stepped into that role (DeAndre Hopkins is also being used in the slot more).
When Will Fuller is hobbled with injuries, Stills is typically the backup plan as the Texans' potential deep threat.
Stills missed a pair of games in October with his own hamstring injury, but he's been productive for Houston.
His four touchdown receptions trail only Hopkins and tight end Darren Fells, who both have seven. Stills has a team best 14.4 yards per reception.
