Broncos linebacker Von Miller was named the October AFC Defensive Player of the Month on Thursday.

Miller recorded seven sacks, 14 tackles and a pass defensed to help Denver to a 4-0 record in October. It is Miller’s second defensive player of the month award — he earned the honor in November 2012.

On the season, Miller has 28 tackles and is second in the NFL behind Kansas City’s Justin Houston with nine sacks.

Miller is the seventh Broncos player to earn the award, along with Rulon Jones, Karl Mecklenburg, Dennis Smith, Simon Fletcher, Deltha O’Neal and Champ Bailey. He and Bailey are the only Denver players to receive the honor twice.

Von is a better sack machine and also isn't self-righteous.

After earning his second career AFC Defensive Player of the Month award, Von Miller gave credit to those who go to battle with him every Sunday.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – October has been an outstanding month for the Broncos’ defense.

The team has held opponents to a league-low 258.8 yards per game, compared to the first three games of the season when opponents averaged 390.7 yards. In addition, in this four-game stretch, opponents are averaging just 47.75 rushing yards per game.

A major component of the defense’s leap forward is Von Miller’s dominant play, for which he was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Month.

While Miller’s October stat line is striking, he acknowledged that his efforts are just one component of the defense’s performance.
