There are a lot of us who remember where we were on the evening of Jan. 23, and that includes Von Miller. He just so happened to be on a cross-country flight from Tampa back to Los Angeles, after he and the Rams scored a thrilling 30–27 win over the defending champion Buccaneers to advance to the NFC title game.
Like everyone else, he was following a game that would, somehow, top the one he had just finished.
“I saw the beginning of it,” Miller said, from a raucous visitors’ locker room at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday night. “It looked like they had won. And when we landed, they’d lost.”
