DENVER — After a three-sack performance Sunday against Indianapolis, Von Miller was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week. This is his third conference recognition of his career and the first since Week 11 of the 2012 season. Miller is now tied with Broncos Ring of Fame linebacker Karl Mecklenburg for the most AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors in team history since the award was initiated by the NFL in 1984. It is also the fourth time a Broncos defender has earned this honor since the beginning of the 2015 season.
Miller was a game-changer in the Broncos 34-20 win against the Colts.
