ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Von Miller wont complain to the officials when hes getting grabbed, mugged or slugged on just about every snap these days. He wont lobby for statistics, either.So, the Broncos star pass rusher shrugged it off when the NFL failed to credit him with a sack last weekend that sealed Denvers 20-10 win at Jacksonville.I had already put it to bed on Monday. I wasnt going to beat myself up about it, Miller said. We won the game. When you turn on the film, youll be able to see what exactly happened.The NFL did just that and the league belatedly credited Miller with a strip-sack this week, which boosted his league-leading sack total to 13 1/2.Miller forced two turnovers in the game despite constant attention from the Jaguars.Ive never seen a guy double-teamed as much as he was last game, Denver defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said Thursday. It was phenomenal. I was talking to their coaches after the game and they said that they werent going to let him be the difference -- he WAS the difference. That tells you how good he is.They double-teamed him every pass play, at least two guys and sometimes three. Hes an amazing player.Miller shoved tackle Jeremy Parnell into quarterback Blake Bortles, forcing the ball free . Linebacker Shane Ray recovered the fumble at the Jaguars 29 with 1:27 remaining.Miller also shoved tackle Kelvin Beachum into Bortles on Bradley Robys pick-6 in the third quarter.Miller has followed up his Super Bowl MVP performance and record-breaking contract with another stellar season that has him as a favorite to win the leagues Defensive Player of the Year award.What separates him from the likes of Khalil Mack of the Raiders is that Miller faces constant waves of blockers, a sign of respect for his talents.I want to make plays. Im not looking for respect, Miller cracked. Im trying to make plays. Its frustrating, but I never get caught up into it. I just try to get the opportunities that I do get. I need to make it happen. I beat myself up about this because when I first came into the league nobody was really chipping me like that and my second year nobody was chipping me. I should have been taking advantage of those opportunities.Superstars get this kind of treatment.I really dont pay any mind to it, Miller said. LeBron James, they triple-team him and Steph Curry and Klay Matthews. Im not looking for respect. Im trying to make plays. It is what it is. Im trying to ruin the game and they dont want me to do it.The Broncos lead the league with three dozen sacks but their opponent Sunday, the Tennessee Titans (6-6) have allowed just half that total.Miller said his role doesnt change against a team such as the Titans who are committed to establishing a ground game behind their excellent backfield of DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry and mobile QB Marcus Mariota.Youve got to understand what my role is, Miller said. Its not just rushing the passer. Its not just the run game. Its not just dropping in coverage and covering tight ends. My job is to make plays -- make big plays -- for my team. However I can make them: strip the ball, sacks, tackle for loss, PBUs (pass breakups), however I can get them, that is my responsibility.Every year at the beginning of the year, Coach, he has everybody stand up: `Whats your name? Whats your position? And every year I stand up: `Im Von Miller and I play defense.

Nike Air Max 90 Outlet .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. DARLINGTON, S.C. -- Jeff Gordon had long planned to be at Darlington Raceway this weekend, largely to greet fans and answer questions about his career as a four-time Sprint Cup champion.Gordon now has a more important role this weekend as fill-in driver for injured Dale Earnhardt Jr. -- gain a victory in the Southern 500 that could lead the Hendrick Motorsports team into NASCARs championship chase.And there may be no better place for the 45-year-old Gordons experience to shine through than Darlington, where hes third all-time with seven victories.Its a track that Im comfortable on and that I like, Gordon said this week. I hope I can put that with a result that this team deserves.It has been a whirlwind summer for Gordon, who was fully vested into his post-Sprint Cup life after making the final four Chase contenders before losing the title to Kyle Busch last November.Gordon enjoyed his role as NASCAR Xfinity broadcaster earlier this season, played a leadership role as an equity partner in Hendrick Motorsports and had some quality time with wife Ingrid Vandebosch and their two children, 9-year-old Ella and 6-year-old Leo.It was balancing out really nicely, all going according to plan, he said.Thats when owner, business partner and friend, Rick Hendrick, asked Gordon to return to the car once more to help an Earnhardt team in crisis. Earnhardt, NASCARs most popular driver from 2002 through last year, was diagnosed with concussion symptoms from a hard crash at Michigan in June and was told by doctors he needed time out of the car to recover.Gordon first drove the No. 88 Chevrolet at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Brickyard 400 in July, finishing 13th. Gordon raced the next three events ending at Bristol Motor Speedway two weeks ago where he was 11th, his best relief showing.After missing last weeks summer race at Michigan -- he had a previous commitment and felt it wasnt fair to the team not to devote his full attention to racing -- Gordon is back at the Lady in Black, an egg-shaped oval only David Pearson (10 wins) and the late Dale Earnhardt (nine victtories) have tamed any better.ddddddddddddGordon said unlike before In his limited Sprint Cup engagement, he feels like he has solid strategies and notes to offer crew chief Greg Ives and the team from his 16th-place finish in 2015 -- what was supposed to be his final ride around Darlington.First time all year I have some valuable notes about the package and what the car should be like, he said. Im hoping that can help me get up to speed and help the team.Gordon took to NASCARs oldest superspeedway almost from the get go. His first win here came in 1995, just two years after he first drove a Sprint Cup car here. He swept both events in 1996, including the Southern 500 to join Bill Elliott as the only racers to capture the Winston Million bonus for winning three of the sports crown jewel events in the same season.Gordons last victory in 2007 may have been the most memorable. He was worried about overheating the last few laps and didnt think hed make to the end. After taking the checkered flag, Gordons radiator blew up in victory lane.There was steam everywhere, he said with a laugh.Gordon has stayed sharp at Darlington with five top-10 finishes in the past seven races there. He believes hes got another strong run in him.Youve got to be willing to really put yourself out there and take that risk at Darlington, Gordon said. You cant be intimidated and you have to respect it.Gordon figured Earnhardt would have returned to the drivers seat by now. He said his former teammate continues making progress, although Hendrick Motorsports has not announced plans for the No. 88 beyond Darlington. Alex Bowman has also sat in for two races that Earnhardts missed.Gordon said the surprise racing stint has not whetted his appetite for more and hell happily head back to his post-racing life on the sidelines once Earnhardt is cleared to return.This weekend, though, Gordon is focused on what hes done so well in his career -- succeeding at Darlington.
