Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller is treating Sunday's pivotal clash against the Kansas City Chiefs differently than any other game.

Both the Broncos and Chiefs enter with identical 7-3 records and Miller is frothing at the opportunity, with both teams vying for an opportunity to track down the AFC West-leading Oakland Raiders (8-2).

"This is a rivalry game flexed to Sunday Night Football," Miller said Friday via Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio. "It's the biggest game of the year, and I want to go out there and take advantage of it."

Miller also implored the front seven to continue to attack opposing quarterbacks, as the Broncos rank fifth in the league with 29 sacks.

"Teams are just saying these players are not going to hurt us," Miller said. "But we've got to go out there and make those plays work. Whether it’s a chip or two guys or whatever it may be, we've got to go out there and make those plays work. We've done it before. I've done it before. Whether it's a chip or not, we've just got to go out there and do it."
