After the Buffalo Bills suffered a 35-10 beatdown by the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football, the bad news kept coming. The NFL issued a four-game suspension for Bills star Von Miller for violating the league’s Personal Conduct Penalty.
Miller, who signed a six-year, $120 million contract with Buffalo in 2022, is eligible to return after the Bills’ Week 8 matchup on October 18. The future Hall of Famer’s suspension stems from a domestic violence incident involving his longtime girlfriend, Megan Denise, on Nov. 29, 2023.
Miller turned himself in to the Glenn Heights Police on Nov. 30, on suspicion of assaulting a pregnant woman, which is third-degree felony. While no charges were field, that doesn’t preclude the NFL from handing out a punishment.
Just hours before the NFL announced Miller’s suspension, Denise shared a message on her Instagram Stories.

Denise posted a hopeful message for the new month, wishing for “love, peace, healing, progress, blessings,” and more, just hours before the NFL handed down Miller’s suspension.
After the news was announced, she posted a video selfie with a clock emoji and wrote, “Incase you’re wondering.”

Miller, 35, who shares two children with Denise, Valor and Victory, denied all allegations regarding the assault in December, “It is 100% false,” he told reporters. “It’s overblown. I’ve got the right people on the job.”
“The only thing that is true is that we do have a third son on the way,” Miller said. “Everything else is untrue.”
While a woman can be heard yelling, “My boyfriend is choking and hitting me,” in a 911 call obtained by WFAA, she called the incident “a huge misunderstanding” in a text message to the outlet. “We’re fine,” she wrote. “Things were blown way out of context. This is actually outrageous!”
The longtime couple never announced the birth of their third child. Last week, Miller shared several photos of the couple’s two sons on his Instagram page.
