1. Von Miller

When Von Miller speaks, everyone should listen.

At least, from now on.

When Miller gets in front of the media, he may give the occasional nugget of humor but for the most part, Miller is pretty easy-going and doesn’t ruffle a lot of feathers behind the mic.

When he said — three times in the same press conference — that the Broncos were going to kick the Cardinals’ ‘butt’, it seemingly changed the entire mentality of the team. The Broncos had looked defeated in the weeks prior to this game, even though they put up a good fight against the Los Angeles Rams.

Miller absolutely destroyed the Cardinals in this game, and Josh Rosen might be feeling his shadow for the remainder of his NFL career.

He finished with four quarterback hits, two sacks, and two forced fumbles, and was generally pressuring Rosen all night long. It was a vintage Miller performance, and when he plays this well, the Broncos are nearly impossible to beat.
