Von Miller Wins Super Bowl MVP

Denver Broncos LB Von Miller was the main catalyst in the team's upset of the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50. He becomes the 9th defensive player to win the award in Super Bowl history and the fourth linebacker.

Miller totaled 6 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles. His pressure on Panthers quarterback Cam Newton left the opposing offense out of sorts the entire game. Miller now has 6.5 sacks in his playoff career, most in Broncos history while he is also the first Broncos player to record multiple sacks in a Super Bowl. Newton was pressured on 42.9% of his drop backs, the highest percentage in a game of his career.

Miller took advantage of one of the weakest units on the Carolina Panthers team; that being the edge pass rush protection. When double-teamed by Panthers linemen, teammates DeMarcus Ware and Derek Wolfe took advantage, pressuring Newton into some sacks and bad decisions throwing the ball.

Where would you rank his performance all-time in Super Bowl history? Do you think Miller was deserving of Super Bowl MVP?
