Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller has seen it all during his NFL career, but watching Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens offense still makes the hair on his arms stand up.
Speaking to the media prior to the Ravens’ visit to M&T Bank Stadium in Week 4, Miller acknowledged that his combination of running back Derrick Henry and wide receiver Vincent Jackson makes him a “scary” defense. He claimed to have seen Baltimore’s season-opening game against the Chiefs and to have been impressed by the team’s first drive.
“I remember watching the very first game when they played the Kansas City Chiefs in that first drive, it just looked scary,” Miller said, per the Bills website. “It just looks scary with the type of offensive line that they have, and you got Derrick Henry back there, and Lamar Jackson always has the threat to take the ball and run it. And I think on that very first drive with the Chiefs, they ran six or seven plays, all runs, and it was straight down the field and into the end zone. And I remember watching the game on TV, and I was like, ‘this is this is going to be a problem.’ And it has been.”
Miller, who was sidelined by a ruptured ACL last season and had maybe the worst season of his career, has recovered admirably for Buffalo to begin the 2024 season. He finished last season with zero sacks for the first time in his career, but he has already recorded three sacks in the team’s first three games—one in each match. It will be a tough assignment for the Bills to stop Jackson, who Miller referred to as “one of the most dynamic players that ever played in this game.”
Everybody knows about Lamar Jackson. League MVP, one of the most dynamic players that ever played in this game, not just quarterback,” Miller said, per the team website. “You can’t even just put him in a box as a quarterback. He’s greater than that, one of the most dynamic players to ever play this game, and he can throw the ball too.”
The Ravens and Bills will kick off from M&T Bank Stadium at 8:20 p.m. ET.
