Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller is on pace for a 20-sack season, and spoke about the opportunities his presence created for his teammates.

Miller, the reigning Super Bowl MVP, is considered by many to be the Defensive Player of the Year favorite at this juncture, and is facing numerous blockers en route to the quarterback this year.

The Broncos' superstar reflected on what he faces on a weekly basis.

"About three guys, three-and-a-half guys,” Miler said on PFT Live. "You know they might motion a receiver and he'll get a chip and they might keep the tight end in, and the offensive tackle. Then the running back might come out and chip a little bit, too. So probably like three-and-a-half guys. But whenever teams are doing stuff like that I got a whole team, a whole defense full of stars, so it just gives other guys on my team opportunities to make plays."

The Broncos are mired in a two-game losing streak, but remain in the top 10 of most defensive categories, in large part due to Miller's heroics.
