von Miller is already one of the best passer of his generation, having racked up 61 sacks in his first five seasons, but Super Bowl 50 looks a lot like his crowning glory.
Miller has a striptease bag of Cam Newton at the start of the match which ended in a touchdown by Malik jackson, added another half-sack early in the fourth quarter after destroying Panthers right tackle Mike Remmers (it’s been a long night for Remmers), and he may have just sealed the game with his second strip-sack of the night with just over four minutes to go.
VON MILLER CANNOT BE STOPPED

Miller again came yelling on the rim and knocked the ball out of Newton’s hands. Cam had a chance to retrieve the ball, but rather than dive into the heap, he backed off.

As a result, the bullet squirted through, and Quarter TJ picked up. Cue Sad Cam:

CJ Anderson scored a short touchdown in subsequent practice, while the Broncos also added a two-point conversion to increase their lead to 24-10 with just over three minutes to go. With the massive performance, Miller appears to be on his way to a Super Bowl MVP trophy.
