Von Miller has made a career out of getting to quarterbacks, and on Christmas Day, he added another milestone to his Hall of Fame résumé. With a sack of Dak Prescott in the Commanders’ 30-23 loss to the Cowboys, Miller moved into a tie for 10th on the NFL’s all-time sack list - joining legends Richard Dent and John Randle with 137.5 career sacks since the stat became official in 1982.
Yes, there was a roughing-the-passer call on teammate Frankie Luvu during the play, but the sack stood - and so did the significance of the moment. At 36 years old, Miller continues to show flashes of the relentless edge presence that’s defined his career. While he didn’t notch another sack in the game, he still contributed with two tackles and a quarterback hit, bringing his 2025 season total to 8.0 sacks.
Now, with just one regular-season game left - a Week 18 matchup against the Eagles - Miller has a shot to move up even further. Sitting just one sack behind DeMarcus Ware (138.5) and 1.5 behind Terrell Suggs (139.0), Miller could leapfrog both with a vintage performance in Philadelphia. Jason Taylor sits just ahead of that group at 139.5, making the top-8 within reach if Miller can summon one of those classic multi-sack outings.
Whether this is Miller’s final season or not remains to be seen. He signed a one-year, $6.1 million deal with Washington back in July, and while he hasn’t publicly committed to returning in 2026, his play has shown he’s still got something left in the tank. An eight-time Pro Bowler and two-time Super Bowl champion, Miller’s legacy is already secure - but the chance to climb even higher among the game’s all-time great pass rushers is still in front of him.
For now, Miller stands shoulder to shoulder with Dent and Randle - two names that defined defensive excellence in their eras. One more sack, and he’ll be standing alone at No.
- A few more, and he’ll be knocking on the door of the top five.
Either way, Von Miller’s career continues to be a masterclass in sustained dominance off the edge.
