The weather is starting to cool, and Von Miller is just heating up.

The Broncos linebacker was named AFC defensive player of the month for October after a dominating string of performances.

Miller had 7.0 sacks during the month, which led all NFL players. He’s working on a streak of six consecutive games with a sack.

More importantly, he’s helped the Broncos to a 4-0 record over the last month, as the defense has done its part to help quarterback Peyton Manning and an offense that is just assumed to be handling its business.

The Broncos have allowed 258.8 yards per game over the last four, the best mark in the league over that stretch.
