ENGLEWOOD http://www.steelerscheapauthenticstore.com/benny-snell-jr.-jersey-cheap , Colo. (AP) — than Denver Broncos star Von Miller, who has dumped the quarterback 83 1-2 times since his Rookie of the Year debut in 2011.Miller’s sole sack of Seattle’s Russell Wilson, whom he’ll face for just the second time Sunday, came in 2014, eight months after the Seahawks throttled the Broncos in the Super Bowl with Miller sidelined by a knee injury.Neither player seems particularly enthusiastic about facing the other in the season opener at Mile High Stadium.“Russell’s elite,” Miller said Thursday. “Nobody likes playing Russell Wilson . He’s just elite, best of the best. As a pass rusher, you want a guy that when you get to him and you touch him, he’ll lay down for you. Russell’s the complete opposite.“He’s probably THE most elusive quarterback out there. So, nobody likes that, especially if you’re a sack guy.”Miller’s been a big fan of Wilson ever since seeing him outshine Matt Flynn in an exhibition game at Denver in Wilson’s rookie season.“I feel like he’s been great since his first couple of starts in the preseason, when was that, 2012, when he just went off in the preseason? I think he’s been great. He really hasn’t looked back since then,” Miller said. “He’s a great quarterback. He’s done everything the right way, one of those guys who you want your kids looking up to. So, Russell Wilson is a great quarterback and I’m looking forward to playing against him.“Not really.”Wilson is just as effusive in praise of Miller.“He’s one of those guys that’s a game changer Zach Gentry Jersey ,” Wilson said. “He can make some plays. I think the best thing for us is knowing where he is and playing smart football. When you’re playing LeBron James, or you’re playing guys like Kobe Bryant or Steph Curry, they’re going to make their plays.“He’s one of those guys for sure.”Miller always fancied himself more of a Dirk Nowitzki.“Yeah, I thought I was Dirk,” Miller cracked. “It’s great, especially coming from a guy like Russell. I already told you what type of player he is and what he means to the National Football League. So, for him to have those words for me are amazing.“I still don’t look forward to playing against him,” Miller stressed. “But it’s going to be a great game on Sunday.”Teams have long schemed to keep Miller from destroying their offensive game plans like he did in Super Bowl 50 with a pair of strip sacks of Cam Newton.They tilt protection his way, chip him with tight ends and otherwise force him to beat double teams most of the time.The addition of first-round draft pick Bradley Chubb should ease some of that attention .The fifth overall selection in the NFL draft, Chubb earned a starting spot opposite Miller but the Broncos have the best depth at that position in the league and can also unleash former first-rounder Shane Ray and Shaq Barrett on quarterbacks.“Von’s still going to get chipped, and early on they’re going to obviously test Bradley (to see) if he can win one-on-ones away from Von. If he does that, then we’ll get more fair protections,” Broncos coach Vance Joseph said. “But most teams are still going to turn to Von and chip Von. If they don’t, he’s going to take over the game.“But it helps having Chubb opposite and having Ray opposite and even with our NASCAR package having our four pass rushers on the field. That’s always a good deal, too. It creates more one-on-ones.”Chubb knows all about Wilson, who started three dozen games at NC State before transferring to Wisconsin.“I actually got a chance to meet him when I was there at a game, so it was pretty cool Chris Lindstrom Jersey ,” Chubb said. “I didn’t watch him in college but now as a professional I see he makes plays with his feet and with his arms. He’s a great player.”His interaction with Wilson basically consisted of asking for a selfie.“It was more of a quick-type conversation. I came downstairs and he was right there and I said, ‘Hey, can I get a picture really quick?’ Took the picture, then he had to be on his way,” Chubb recalled.He’d love to run into Wilson again Sunday in Seattle’s backfield along with Miller. LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Nick Foles‘ magic stretched all the way back to Minnesota.Foles did it again, leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a 24-0 victory over the Redskins and the defending Super Bowl champions earned the NFC’s final wild-card berth when Chicago beat the Vikings on Sunday.The Eagles (9-7) will play at the Bears (12-4) next weekend.“We’re not sneaking in. We’re here to do some damage,” Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins said.They might have to do it without Foles, who left the game in the fourth quarter with a chest injury. Foles said he’s sore near his ribs and will know more Monday.“I’m optimistic,” Foles said.Before he gave way to Nate Sudfeld, Foles tied Philip Rivers‘ NFL record by completing 25 straight passes and threw two touchdown passes. Sudfeld fired a 22-yard TD on his only pass.It felt like a home game for the Eagles. Philadelphia fans filled FedEx Field, sang “Fly! Eagles! Fly!” and chanted “Let’s Go Bears!” There were several thousand empty seats and Redskins fans could only cheer for the Vikings to spite Eagles fans.“I looked away,” Foles said about seeing the Bears-Vikings score on the scoreboard. “I didn’t want to know. I wanted to stay focused on winning this game.”Some players noticed the score while others didn’t. They watched the final minutes together in the locker room and then celebrated.“It was exciting,” Eagles coach Doug Pederson said. “A lot of hard work that just paid off. It’s what we set out to do. Obviously on this journey we didn’t meet a lot of our goals, but one of them is to get into the postseason and we were able to do that, and so we’re excited.”Foles, the Super Bowl MVP in Philadelphia’s win over New England last February http://www.falconscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-kaleb-mcgary-jersey , is 6-0 in must-win games filling in for Carson Wentz.Foles stepped in after Wentz was sidelined by a back injury earlier this month and guided Philadelphia to an upset on the road against the Rams as a 13 1/2-point underdog. He set a franchise record for yards passing in a game with 471 in a 32-30 comeback win last week against Houston.The Eagles dominated the Redskins, controlling the ball for 43:19. Philadelphia’s defense held Washington to only 89 yards total offense.The Redskins (7-9) lost six of seven after leading the NFC East at 6-3.“It just wasn’t a good enough year for us,” Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. “Hopefully we’ll regain that (fan) support sometime soon, very soon. Until then, we have a lot of work to do.”Foles finished 28 of 33 for 221 yards, two TDs and one interception.He tossed a 2-yard pass to Alshon Jeffery to cap a 19-play, 87-yard drive that took 11:49 in the second quarter, giving Philadelphia a 10-0 lead. Foles was 10 of 10 on the drive and the Eagles converted three times on third downs and once on fourth-and-1.Foles connected with Nelson Agholor on a 6-yard pass to make it 17-0 late in the third quarter. On the previous play, Foles had a chance to break the completion record but misfired on a pass to Agholor.Sudfeld hit Agholor on a catch-and-run TD to extend the lead to 24-0 in the fourth.Josh Johnson, making his third start for the Redskins after Alex Smith and Colt McCoy sustained season-ending injuries and Mark Sanchez was ineffective, was 12 of 27 for 91 yards and one pick.“They did what good teams do and took care of business,” Johnson said.Rasul Douglas intercepted Johnson on the first play from scrimmage.SHUTOUTSThe Redskins hadn’t been shut out since losing 24-0 to the Rams on Dec. 7, 2014. It was Philadelphia’s first shutout since a 27-0 win over the Giants on Oct. 12, 2014.DRIVE TIMEThe nearly 12-minute drive by Philadelphia was the longest in the NFL since the Browns had a field-goal drive that lasted 12:01 against the Chiefs in 2015. The 19 plays were the most in a drive against Washington since 1999.GETTING TRICKYRedskins punter Tress Way threw a 7-yard pass to Jehu Chesson on a fake punt on fourth-and-2, but Johnson followedwith three straight incomplete passes and Way had to punt.INJURIESRedskins: RG Tony Bergstrom left with a knee injury.Eagles: Foles will have tests on Monday.UP NEXTRedskins: Finished third in NFC East and missed the playoffs for the third straight season.Eagles: Play at Chicago in a wild-card game next weekend.
