Wesley Woodyard has said that Von Miller makes the Denver Broncos' defense better.

The linebacker was suspended for the first six games of the campaign for breaching the league's substance-abuse policy, but has made 13 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble in the three games since his return.

The team's defensive co-captain told reporters: "We've been a lot better. He allows us to do several different things out there.

"We can put him at rush end and bring another linebacker off the bench. It opens up so many different packages with a player like him out there on the field.

"That first week, a lot people said he didn't play Von Miller football but to me I thought he played really well against the run. He had a [tackle for loss] or two. Von, now he's getting a sack, he's getting that Von Miller swag going back up. It's going to be crazy to see him cut loose this Sunday."

The Broncos face the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs this weekend.
