2. Von Miller
First off, Von Miller has been great all season, even if his stats don’t necessarily reflect the same level of dominance we’re used to. Still … the Broncos could really use those stats, too.
Despite being third in the league in quarterback hurries and fifth in the league in quarterback hits, as well as holding PFF’s third-best pass-rushing grade, Miller is currently tied for 18th in the NFL with six sacks. And no, sacks aren’t everything, but plays like this sure do help.

As we’ve seen all season, the Broncos need as many of these plays as they can get, especially with Brock Osweiler still easing into the starting role. Miller is a special, special player — easily the best player on the Broncos defense — and he needs to prove it week in and week out.
