The difference between the brilliant Bills and Chiefs? One Vonnie B’Vsean Miller

In March, barely a month after he helped the Los Angeles Rams win the Super Bowl, a tough old linebacker named Von Miller surprised much of the football world by announcing that he was going to sign with the Buffalo Bills. Miller, a veteran of 10 NFL seasons, was about to turn 33, but the Bills were giving him a younger man’s contract: six years, $120m.

“Is 40 open?” he said that day on Twitter, referring to his preferred jersey number. It was.

Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes, as elusive and prolific as ever, saw Miller’s No 40 a lot Sunday in a stirring 24-20 Buffalo victory that established the Bills (5-1) as the team to beat in the AFC, if not the entire NFL. Miller sacked Mahomes twice – one on a spin-a-rama – and fought off a double-team that forced Mahomes into throwing a game-sealing interception.

HE REALLY DID IT AGAIN!!!
