Von Miller has played in seven games this season after missing all of , and he has created at least one pressure in every contest so far.

He also thanked teammates, coaches, staff and fans. I didn't see it coming," Miller said. I got a lot of respect for general manager George Paton and president of football operations John Elway, and we just kind of sat down and talked, and it's in the best interests for me and the team as well. And I love and I appreciate you guys for all the amazing years I had while I was here. After missing the season because of injury, Miller has picked up 19 tackles and 4.
