Denver Broncos: 5 takeaways from Week 1 win over Giants

Von Miller deserves a round of applause

Von Miller is back. That is something Broncos fans have been waiting to hear.

But Miller wasn’t just back on the field or back in uniform. He was back and playing at a high level.

Miller is now 32 years old and rarely mentioned among the game’s best pass-rushers at this point. Because of injuries and a drop in production, he’s become somewhat forgotten. He reminded Daniel Jones and the Giants of who he is on Sunday.

Von had two sacks and an additional tackle for loss in the game, looking just as fast and explosive as ever. He also did this with Bradley Chubb on the bench as he was inactive for this one. That allowed the Giants to focus more attention on the league’s active sacks leader, but it didn’t work.

On one play, he went right around former first-round pick Nate Solder to get to Jones and bring him down.

If this level of play continues for Miller, this Broncos defense is going to be quite difficult to deal with, especially if they can finally get he and Chubb on the field together.
