Von Miller and Garett Bolles were teammates with the Denver Broncos from 2017-2021. Although they haven't played together in four years, Miller said this week that they still talk to each other once or twice every month.
I’ve gone through so many different coaches … and so many different quarterbacks, but to be in this moment … it’s the sweetest.”
The Denver Broncos are back in the playoffs for the first time since winning Super Bowl 50 following the 2015 season.
It’s been a Von time coming. “I love him dearly. I think the world of him,” Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles said with a grin Sunday after Denver’s playoff-clinching curb-stomping of the Kansas City Chiefs when asked about a reunion with Bills pass-rusher and Broncos legend Von Miller next Sunday.
Five Broncos were selected to the All-Pro Team, including the three Pro Bowlers — cornerback Patrick Surtain II, rush linebacker Nik Bonitto, and returner Marvin Mims Jr — but right guard Quinn Meinerz and defensive end Zach Allen also garnered a nod.
The prospect of facing a rookie quarterback in his first playoff game normally would be a lick-their-chops moment for opposing pass rushers. Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix, however, has succeeded this season where so many other rookies who scramble their way into sacks fail.
The last time the Denver Broncos played in a playoff game, Von Miller took home Super Bowl MVP honors after totaling 2.5 sacks and forcing two fumbles in a 24-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50. Nine years later, the Broncos have now returned to the postseason and they are set to play against the Buffalo Bills — and Von Miller.
Bo Nix is the 14th starting quarterback since Peyton Manning retired and became the first since then to lead Denver to the playoffs.
The Denver Broncos are back in the playoffs after nine years, and fans across Colorado are preparing for a road matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
It's been a while since the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos faced each other in a playoff game, and one person on the field on Sunday will have played for both teams.
They signed safety Brandon Jones, defensive lineman Malcolm Roach and inside linebacker Cody Barton to modest deals. During the NFL draft, they traded a future sixth-round pick for John Franklin-Myers and quickly signed him to a reworked, two-year deal worth $15 million.
Additionally, five other Denver players also received All-Pro votes. Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles (nine votes), fullback Michael Burton (six), safety Brandon Jones (five), long snapper Mitchell Fraboni (four) and wide receiver Courtland Sutton (one) were also recognized in the process.
