    DALLAS — Star NFL linebacker Von Miller faces an arrest in a domestic violence case in Dallas, multiple police sources told WFAA on Thursday morning.

    Sources say Miller's longtime girlfriend has accused him of assaulting her at their home in Dallas on Wednesday morning. Sources told WFAA that his attorney has been contacted about the case and that a warrant has been issued for Miller's arrest.

     

    As of 9 a.m. Thursday, Miller, 34, had not been arrested.

     

    Sources told WFAA that the warrant was for a charge of assaulting a pregnant person, which is a third-degree felony.

     

    WFAA reached out to the office of the attorney who is believed to be representing Miller, but the attorney was not immediately available for comment. WFAA has also reached out to a Dallas Police Department spokesperson for more information about the case.

     

    Miller, a DeSoto native, is currently a linebacker for the Buffalo Bills, who are on a bye and not playing this week. 

     

    Miller previously played for the Los Angeles Rams in 2021 and for the Denver Broncos from 2011-2021.

     

    Miller was a star in Denver, where he earned three first-team All-Pro selections and led the Broncos to a Super Bowl victory in 2015. Miller was traded to the Rams during the 2021 season and helped Los Angeles to a Super Bowl victory that season.

     

    Miller played college football at Texas A&M.

     

    In 2021, Miller was under investigation by the Parker, Colo., police department, but the 18th Judicial District, the district attorney's office for the city, declined to move forward with charges against Miller. Details surrounding the investigation were not disclosed by authorities, and Miller remained on the Broncos team for that upcoming season.

    Because females get pregnant.

    If you don’t think he was the problem you aren’t watching games, sorry. 

    I don’t disagree. 

    However. Dorsey didn’t fumble on the first play.

    Dorsey didn’t drop an easy pass that ended being being a pick.

    Dorsey didn’t throw a stupid sideline interception.

    Dorsey didn’t organize the field goal defense where an EXTRA MAN ON THE FIELD caused a game changing penalty.

    Dorsey was bad.

    But he was like the 5th bad thing last night.

    Congrats, you just got your first negative reaction.

     

    It's not that people are soft, it's that he and now you are wrong. We got Rapp as a backup safety, and he's not wasting a roster spot.

    But he is. He’s not a good football player. 
     

    Sorry you value feel good stories over production. You’re just one of the soft ones like I correctly mentioned.

    Let's just hope Josh doesn't end up this generation's version of Kelly/Marino.

    Yeah, would suck to have a hall of fame QB who went to 4 Superbowls and the only reason didn’t win the first one was because of the head coach.

    The Bills beat the Dolphins in Orchard Park on Sunday, 48-20.  It was one of those games where the main statistics don’t tell the story.  24 first downs to 20, 414 to 393 total yards.  Pretty even, huh?

     

    Some numbers give a better picture.  Two takeaways to none.  Four sacks to two.  Nine QB hits to three. 

     

    Whatever the stats say, ten minutes into the second quarter the Bills took control of the game and never let go.  That’s when the Bills scored their third consecutive touchdown to open the game, and that’s when the Bills’ defense took over.  The Dolphins couldn’t match that third touchdown, and before long it was 28-14, and then 31-14 to end the half.  The Dolphins opened the third quarter with a touchdown, but the Bills simply weren’t letting them back into the game.

     

    It was a big game.  A really big game.  A Dolphins win and would have given them a two-game lead over the Bills in the AFC East.  In the weeks before, the Dolphins had shown a seemingly unstoppable, quick-strike offense the likes of which the NFL hadn’t seen in years. 

     

    Sean McDermott, his coaches, and his players were up to the challenge.  They didn’t exactly shut down the Dolphins, except on third and fourth down, where the Dolphins were 3 for 10 and 0 for 3. 

     

    The Bills were dominant. 

     

    Because the Dolphins were going to get some points, the Bills didn’t need just the defense.  The offense had to show up, and it did.  Oh, boy, did it.  The new Josh Allen, the guy who’s learned how to put up gaudy completion percentages by taking the easy throw, was deadly.  He didn’t throw long unless he had single coverage – once to Diggs for a TD and once for an interference call, one TD to Davis, one incomplete to Shakir, maybe one or two more.  The rest of his throws were easy-peasy, to all sorts of receivers, and the chains kept moving. 

     

    I’ve been focused on completion percentage lately.  It’s the key to success for Josh Allen and the Bills, and it’s no surprise that after three stellar outings, Allen leads the league in that category.

     

    Why is completion percentage so important?   Because the more chances the skill position players have to make plays, the more yards the team gains, the more first downs the team gets.  More first downs means even more touches for the skill players.  It feeds itself.

     

    Why are touches for skill players so important?  Because when the skill players get the ball, they have opportunities to make plays, and sometimes they do.  It was 34-20, still a game, when Micah Hyde intercepted Tua.  The Bills were on the verge of settling for a field goal when, on third and five, Allen took the easy throw to Harty in the left flat.  Allen’s throw was short, and Harty had to go to his knees to make the catch, short of the sticks.  He got up and made a nifty little run for the first down.   Allen hit Diggs for the touchdown on the next play.   Allen checking down to Harty, the smart play, and Harty’s run, were worth four points. 

     

    The benefit of having a player like Allen is not to call his number as a regular part of the offense.  What makes Allen great is that when all else has failed, he can make plays that no one else in the league, except Mahomes, can make.  His short TD pass to Diggs over the middle was sweet and special.  His touchdown run was vintage Allen.  Oh, and when it comes to getting the ball to the skill players, no one throws the football like Allen.  The touchdown to Davis was simply perfect.

     

    The Bills lineup was full of guys who made a difference:

     

    Ed Oliver.  Over and over.

     

    Diggs.  Oh, my.

     

    Bernard.  Takeaway, again.  And more.

     

    Murray.  The guy can move the ball.

     

    Milano.  Oh, my, too. 

     

    Knox.  Can you say run after catch?

     

    Kincaid.  Josh’s new security blanket.

     

    Up and down the lineup, guys made plays.

     

    The Dolphins feature their speed.  The Bills feature  good football players, waves of them.  Defensive linemen, offensive lineman, defensive backs, running backs, receivers, everyone.  They’re smart, rugged, relentless.  Not the biggest, but big enough.  Not the fastest, but fast enough.  Not the best, maybe, but more than good enough.

     

    I heard a coach say once that teams should break down the season into four quarters, and the objective is to go at least 3-1, every quarter season.  After the loss to the Jets, and given what the Dolphins had been doing, 3-1 required a special effort.  Mission accomplished.

     

    On to London. 

     

     

    GO BILLS!!!

     

    The Rockpile Review is written to share the passion we have for the Buffalo Bills. That passion was born in the Rockpile; its parents were everyday people of western New York who translated their dedication to a full day’s hard work and simple pleasures into love for a pro football team.
