Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller is featured on one of two covers of Sports Illustrated this week.

In the cover shot going to 28 states in the midwest and west, Miller is seen sacking New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady with the headline, "Orange Rush: Peyton Manning will be the the Super Bowl narrative, but the Broncos' soul-crushing D is the story."

SI says the article will focus on how Denver’s defense limited Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game.

"That was the most impressive defensive performance for the Broncos I’ve ever seen," Denver Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe said.

Miller was drafted 2nd overall in 2011 by the Broncos. He has 60 career sacks in 72 regular season games, according to the DenverBroncos.com.

Sports Illustrated readers on the east coast will see Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton with the headline: "Newton's Law (revised): Cam and the Panthers keep going up, show no signs of coming down."
