Von Miller: We'll get at Tom Brady in AFC Championship game
Friday 22 January 2016 15:19, UK
Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller says he only needs a second to get at New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady ahead of the AFC Championship game.
The two sides meet in the huge clash, live on Sky Sports on Sunday, with the Patriots favourites to secure victory and progress to next month's Super Bowl.
Brady's snap to release in their win over Kansas City earlier this month was timed at around two seconds, but Von Miler joked he would need only half that time to get at the quarterback.
"You said two seconds? Sometimes I only need like one," Von Miller told CSN New England.

"It's quick. We have to be tight in the secondary. That little window that we get we - me, DeMarcus (Ware), (Derek) Wolfe and Malik (Jackson) - have to get there. Shaq (Barrett), everybody, we just have to get there.

"This is one of those games where you can't make excuses. We have to get our hands up, bat some balls down and we just have to get there, plain and simple."
Miller's team-mate Emmanuel Sanders, meanwhile, has admitted that the Broncos will be underdogs heading into the clash on Sunday, but he is determined to enjoy the game.
"Vegas says we're coming in as the underdog so I guess we're coming in as the underdog!" Sanders told Sky Sports.
"At the end of the day you're playing in an AFC Championship game and you get the opportunity to showcase your talents in front of the world, so I'm looking forward to that opportunity.
"I think you need to enjoy the process and embrace it. You have to understand this doesn't happen all the time. Some day I'm going to be 50 and might be saying: 'Hey son, I played in the AFC Championship game and that's the year we won the Super Bowl!' You never know."
