Von Miller missed his goal. He wanted a breathtaking performance Sunday and ended up gasping for breath. He can sack quarterbacks with his eyes shut: Jab the tackle, head fake, accelerate, then smash.
That was before surgery on his right knee nine months ago. Returning from an injury is different, the challenges real and sometimes unexpected. Broncos linebacker Miller faced the Indianapolis Colts with designs on wrecking their game plan, but he settled for a few dents.
It isn't a reflection of who he is, Miller said, but where he is: an athlete making stair-step progress, left vulnerable when Andrew Luck pushed the pedal on the Colts' offense.
