It’s Von Miller’s world, and we’re all just living in it.

Through three games, Von Miller has five sacks, one forced fumble and 12 tackles. He’s also produced three Friday-the-13th-worthy nightmares for Cam Newton, Andrew Luck and Andy Dalton.
And with this designation, Miller surpasses Champ Bailey, widely considered the greatest defender to ever wear a Broncos uniform, for the most AFC Defensive Player of the Month honors in franchise history.
Von may just be in his sixth season, but it’s already time we start contemplating his place in Broncos, and league, history.
Bailey may be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but there’s a legitimate case to be made that Miller is already the better player — he certainly has the hardware to back it up.
Either way, the good news is that he’s a Denver Bronco, and he’s a Denver Bronco long term. Enjoy it.
