    Miami Dolphins are the latest victims of Buffalo Bills pass rusher Von Miller's comeback tour

    Von, SMASH.

    The reports of Von Miller's comeback have, apparently, not been exaggerated, as the veteran pass rusher contributed in a major way in the Buffalo Bills 31-10 drubbing of the Miami Dolphins on Thursday Night Football.

    Miller looks like he might just be all the way back. He's fluid, lightning quick off the line of scrimmage, and he was living in the backfield on Thursday night. His 2.10 average time to pressure was absurd tonight.

    He was also living in the head of Dolphins right tackle Austin Jackson, getting a sack and four pressures on 14 pass rush attempts against him. Jackson, who apparently was tired of Miller beating him around the edge with his speed, also got flagged for a false start. Miller was a nightmare.

    Miller has now logged a sack in each of the first two games this season, and the drumbeat is starting to get louder that he's looking like his old, future Hall of Fame self. With the sack tonight, Von Miller tied HOFer Dwight Freeney's 125.5 career sacks for 18th-most all-time.

    Just over a week ago, Miller spoke with the media and expressed plenty of confidence in his abilities now that he's fully healthy from the knee injury he suffered in 2022.

    "I feel right where I'm right where I'm supposed to be. I was hoping to feel like this last year, at the beginning of the season. It's just been, you know, pan out for me. It took me an extra, you know, 10 months on top of that, and still, you know, I still feel good. I feel good. I feel better than what I felt in training camp. I felt good in training camp, and each week that goes well, I feel better and better and better. So hopefully that training can continue. And, you know, I just keep feeling better and better better," Miller said.

    It's paying off. When Week 2 of the season is all said and done and we have the stats to look through, Miller's efficiency as a pass rusher and his speed to pressure is going to look very, very good. Him being able to line up opposite Greg Rousseau , who didn't register a sack in this game but did get into the backfield multiple times, has the possibility of being one of the better pass rush duos in the NFL.
