Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller is paying immediate dividends on the six-year, $114.5 million contract he signed in July.
Miller recorded a league-best five sacks in September to win AFC Defensive Player of the Month honors, the league announced on Thursday. This represents the franchise-best third such honor for the Super Bowl 50 MVP, who has collected 12 tackles, six quarterback hits and one forced fumble for the Broncos (3-0).
