Von Miller got the best of Tom Brady once again, advancing to NFC title game

Sunday’s divisional playoff game between the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers looked familiar for Denver Broncos fans.

Rams outside linebacker Von Miller totaled four tackles in a 30-27 win, the most notably tackle being a strip-sack on Bucs quarterback Tom Brady in the fourth quarter (and Miller promptly recovered the fumble).

Brady was also flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after berating officials following one of Miller’s hits on the quarterback.

Miller has now sacked Brady 8.5 times in nine games against him, including 3.5 sacks in three postseason showdowns.

Since being traded from Denver to Los Angeles mid-season, Miller has totaled seven sacks with the Rams, including one sack in each of L.A.’s first two playoff games. The Rams have now advanced to the NFC championship game, where they will host the San Francisco 49ers this weekend.

If Los Angeles defeats San Francisco, Miller will return to the Super Bowl (played at the Rams’ stadium) hoping to have a similar to performance to his Super Bowl 50 showing that earned him MVP honors.
