What is the Denver Broncos record when both Miller and Chubb play?

We know that Miller and Chubb have played in just 21 games together. So, how many times have each of them got at least a half a sack in the same game?

Nine.

Nine out of 21 or just short of 43 percent of the time. Now, having both players get a sack in the same game is not a true measure of success, as one player can impact a game just by applying enough constant pressure, but the point is, these guys just have not made the kind of impact together that nearly everyone thought they would.

Need more proof?

In games where both Miller and Chubb have played, the Broncos have a win-loss record of 7-14 (.333). When one of them or neither of them have played since Chubb was drafted, the team is 12-17 (.413).

That is obviously not a great record either, but the winning percentage is nearly 10 points higher. It’s clear that having both of them out there at the same time has really never given the team much of an advantage at all.

One of the main reasons the team has been able to manage without either Miller or Chubb is third-year player Malik Reed.
