All credit should go to Miller for this playoff run. He was unblockable, and definitely deserved the MVP.
But what's being completely underrated is the spectacular play of Malik Jackson, Derek Wolfe, and the rest of the DTs. How many times have we seen great quarterbacks (most notably Brady), neutralize great edge rushers by taking a few steps up in the pocket. It makes the tackles job so much easier because they can basically concede the wide rush. But QB's couldn't do that against this Denver front, because those DTs almost ALWAYS had push up the middle. Not always enough to get to the QB themselves, but there was no room for Brady or Newton to step up, which gave Miller and Ware a straight shot.
As always, the edge rushers make the flashy plays and get all the credit, while the big uglies in the middle set the table for them.
