The Denver Broncos suffered a heartbreaking 16-14 road loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last week after the Chiefs blocked a last-second field goal attempt that could have been a game-winner for the Broncos.
One week later, Denver rebounded in a big way with a big 38-6 victory over the Atlanta Falcons at home. The Broncos might have also got some satisfaction when they looked up scores after the game and saw that the Chiefs fell to the Buffalo Bills 30-21, marking KC’s first loss of the season.
Former Denver pass rusher Von Miller played a role in Buffalo’s win with two tackles (one behind the line), one quarterback hit and one sack for a nine-yard loss.

With that sack, Miller passed Derrick Thomas to rank 17th on the NFL’s all-time sack list with 127.5 career sacks. Miller, of course, wore No. 58 with the Broncos because Thomas was the player he grew up idolizing.
After beating the Chiefs, Miller took to social media with a perfect message to fans in Denver.
“Broncos Country … I gotchu!!!! 😉🐴” Miller wrote on his Instagram story.

He’s no longer a Bronco, but Miller’s still a thorn in the side of Kansas City’s offense, and he’s still beloved in Denver.
