Von Miller Sets Broncos Single-Game Playoff Record with 2.5 Sacks

Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller set a single-game postseason franchise record with his 2.5 sacks in Sunday's 20-18 AFC Championship Game win over the New England Patriots, per ESPN Stats & Info.

Never one to be pigeonholed as purely a pass-rusher, the 26-year-old Miller finished his impressive afternoon with a full stat line, recording five tackles (four solo), four quarterback hits and an interception on top of the record-setting 2.5 sacks.

His modest celebrations were the only cause for disappointment, with Miller likely not wanting to risk a 15-yard penalty in one of the most important games of his young career.

He was much less reserved in the regular season, even drawing an $11,000 fine for some exaggerated pelvic thrusts that followed a sack of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith.

Miller was much more subdued Sunday afternoon, but he couldn't quite resist breaking out one mild crotch-related celebration, so there may be another fine on the way.

Of course, with his Broncos headed to the Super Bowl for the second time in his career, Miller presumably couldn't care less about a modest fine that would only take a small chunk out of his $9.754 million base salary.

In any case, his contract will expire after this season, and there's no reason to believe he won't get one of the gaudiest non-quarterback deals in NFL history.
