Von Miller once said that you have to “really pick and choose the time” to bust out a sack dance because there’s both an art and science to it.
“I’m a seasoned vet when it comes to sack dances and celebrations. I know the perfect time to do it,” he said earlier in the year. “You just feel it.”
Sunday, Miller felt the urge to celebrate twice. Once for the fans after he recorded his 10th sack of the season …

Miller became the first player in team history with at least 10 sacks in six seasons, and he joined Reggie White and DeMarcus Ware as the only players in NFL history (since sacks became official statistics in 1982) to record double-digit totals in six of their first seven seasons.
“It’s a great feeling,” Miller said. “It really just tells you I’ve been in this league a long time. It’s scary and it’s dope at the same time. Time flies. I was talking to James Carpenter, the guard for the Jets. We were at the Senior Bowl together and that was in 2011. It’s a great accomplishment. It shows you the type of leaders and type of rushers I’ve had around me, from Elivs (Dumervil) to Shaun Phillips, to Shane (Ray) to DeMarcus (Ware).”
