For a decade, Denver was Miller’s turf. Super Bowl 50 MVP, eight Pro Bowls, and that shiny Lombardi Trophy — Miller practically willed it to Mile High in 2015. Now, he’s suiting up in Bills blue, ready to remind his former team why his name still echoes in their halls.
This game is about making history. He’s gunning to join Matt Millen as the only two players to win Super Bowls with three different teams.
The Bills, led by MVP front-runner Josh Allen, enter as eight-point favorites, with home-field swagger and Super Bowl ambitions fueling their fire.
On Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, when the Broncos and Bills collide, it won’t just be another playoff game. It’ll be Miller’s shot to flex his legacy, chase history, and maybe drop another IG caption worthy of a mic drop.
Miller Bags $1.5M Sack Bonus, Eyes Bigger Playoff Goals
Miller didn’t waste time making headlines in Week 18. On his third snap of the game, the Bills’ defensive end secured his sixth sack of the season against New England Patriots rookie QB Drake Maye, locking in a $1.5 million bonus. That’s what you call cashing in in style.
Maye didn’t immediately hit the ground, causing brief confusion over who’d get the sack. Ultimately, Miller’s takedown stuck, credited as a nine-yard loss in New England’s opening series. It also capped a season of incentives for Miller, who earlier snagged a $1 million bonus after reaching two sacks.
Head coach Sean McDermott praised the moment, calling it a “great start” on third down. “It made it easier on me, even though we left him out there a little longer,” McDermott said, balancing player health with individual milestones.
At 35, Miller isn’t slowing down. With 129.5 career sacks (16th all-time), he’s proven he still has gas in the tank. This season, he’s also shown he’s a team player, restructuring his contract to save the Bills’ $8.6 million in cap space.
But for Miller, it’s bigger than bonuses. “It’s all about these weeks coming up,” he alluded, referencing the Bills’ playoff run. “I’m very thankful and grateful, but we’ve got bigger fish to fry.”
Now, as the postseason looms, Miller’s focus shifts to chasing a third ring and solidifying his legacy.
