League Fixes Mistake, Credits Miller With Another Sack
ARNIE STAPLETON, AP Pro Football Writer
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Von Miller's lead-leading sack total jumped to 13½.
The NFL belatedly credited Miller with a strip-sack for his play late in the fourth quarter that sealed Denver's 20-10 win at Jacksonville on Sunday.
Miller shoved tackle Kelvin Beachum into quarterback Blake Bortles, forcing the ball free. Linebacker Shane Ray recovered the fumble at the Jaguars 29 with 1:27 remaining.
Miller, who also shoved a tackle into Bortles on Bradley Roby's pick-6, spoke about his sack-strip after the game although none was listed on the official statistics until the league corrected its mistake this week.
Even while facing constant double teams, Miller has followed up his Super Bowl MVP performance and record-breaking contract with another stellar season and is five sacks shy of his career high set in 2012.
