5 players the Broncos need to play well to beat Giants

2. Von Miller, LB

The Broncos defensive line must be licking their chops at the thought of lining up against the Giants on Sunday afternoon. The Giants faithful might have felt confident based off the additions across the team this offseason, but their offensive line looks relatively the same, minus Kevin Zeitler. New York’s starting o-line had their first starter’s snaps in the preseason finale against the New England Patriots, and they struggled mightily.

Of course, that means Von Miller could be in store for a huge day, as he should.

Miller did not play at all in the 2020 season after he suffered a year-ending ankle injury prior to the start of the campaign. The last time Miller played was in the 2019 season, where he posted 46 total tackles, 20 quarterback hits and eight sacks through 15 games.

Make no mistake about it, Chubb and Miller should make quarterback Daniel Jones’ day a living hell, considering they will have to face off against Andrew Thomas and Nate Solder at the line of scrimmage. Broncos fans banking on a comeback season for Miller will feel might confident if he constantly pressures the Giants through 60 minutes of game time.
