Von Miller cannot bring himself to hate the Denver Broncos.
The former Mile High star defensive player is set to face his former team in the first round of the postseason on Sunday.
Miller was the MVP of Super Bowl 50, when the Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers 24-10 in Santa Clara.
He will now be lining up across his former team when they meet on Sunday, and if you expect him to concoct some fake rage against them, look elsewhere.
“It’s all love,” Miller said.
“I can’t even start to play a delusion of it’s hatred… I can’t even start to play that game.
“I would put myself so far in a place that’s not even close to being reality. It would be hurtful to the way I want to play.
“I love those guys. I love everything about the Denver Broncos.”
Miller can’t bring himself to hate a place where he recorded 110.5 sacks, made eight Pro Bowls, three All-Pro teams, was Defensive Rookie of the Year and cemented his legacy as one of this generation’s greatest defensive players.
The star pass rusher isn’t out for revenge.
“It’s a full circle moment,” Miller said. “Nothing but love for the Broncos and Broncos Country.”
Make no mistake though, he wants to win.
The Broncos traded Miller in November of 2021 to the Los Angeles Rams, where he won his second Lombardi Trophy, helping the Rams defeat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in Super Bowl LVI.
Miller has since been with Buffalo since 2022 and is looking to help the franchise win their first ever championship.
He has six sacks on the season.
The Bills are 13-4 and are the number two seed in the AFC.
Led by an MVP-level performance out of quarterback Josh Allen this season, all eyes are on the team from Orchard Park.
They have fallen short of the Super Bowl the last five seasons.
There are no more excuses for Allen and the Bills.
It starts with beating Miller’s team on Sunday.
The Broncos surprised the league this year, finishing 10-7, led by rookie quarterback Bo Nix.
They are in the postseason for the first time since 2015, when Miller helped lead the Broncos to the title.
He is now looking to do the same with the Bills.
And to do so, he’ll have to put down his beloved former team.
Miller says it’s ‘all love,’ but come Sunday, there is sure to be no loved loss.
