ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- John Elway summoned Von Miller to his office on the eve of training camp with three blank boxes left on his offseason to-do list:1. Patch up the pairs relationship frayed by their financial fracas .I wanted to make sure we were on the same page, Denvers general manager said.2. Warn him about higher hopes that accompany mega-deals like his , a $114.5 million contract that includes $70 million guaranteed, a record for a nonquarterback.All of a sudden standards and expectations are going to go way up, Elway said.3. Admonish Miller to treat quarterbacks in the regular season just like he did in the playoffs .The first five years hes done a tremendous job, Elway said, but I really believe that hes just touched the surface and has a chance to get even better.Check, check, check.Miller has an NFL-best four sacks through two weeks, including a sack-strip of Andrew Luck that sealed Denvers 34-20 win over the Colts that was reminiscent of his mammoth hits in the Super Bowl when he snatched both the football and the Lombardi Trophy from Cam Newtons grasp.He also dumped Newton in this years opener, giving right tackle Mike Remmers a painful reminder of that night when Millers two forced fumbles led to 15 points in Denvers 24-10 Super Bowl win.Right now he has to be at the top, said coach Marvin Lewis, whose Bengals (1-1) host the Broncos (2-0) on Sunday. I think hes playing exceptional again. ... Theres not many like him around.Miller was named the AFCs Defensive Player of the Week for his monster game against Indianapolis, when he collected seven tackles and three quarterback hits to go with his trio of sacks and a forced fumble.Miller said its a matter of focusing on his craft after an offseason in which he made 48 television appearances, including Dancing with the Stars, and logged enough air miles to circle the globe almost three times during his contract stalemate.Miller said Thursday that all the hours he spent learning dance moves from his partner, Whitney Carson, helped him get off to his great start this football season.I definitely think some of the practice I had with Whitney is paying off. Ive never put six hours into one thing every single day, Miller said. Not even football. We practice for two hours. Six hours every single day, it made me consistent. It made me have to come to work every single day and be consistent and work on something that I wasnt really good at.So, hes applied that same work ethic to something hes great at -- football.Ive already had agility and flexibility, but I just think the consistent part, Miller said. Im not tackling guys on the dance floor, but the work that you put in to be a great dancer has a direct correlation to the work you have to put in to be a great football player.Although hes still on TV aplenty as the NFLs latest premier pitchman , the only dancing moves hes flashing are the celebration shimmies and shuffles after his sacks.I just made the windows smaller. I just made my views smaller, Miller said. I dont really spend too much time focusing on anything other than my teammates and my scheme. I spend a lot of time with my teammates. I spend a lot of time with Aqib Talib, T.J. Ward. Its like college here for me. I watch film all day, getting extra workouts in, and its all football now. Its not really anything outside of that.Quarterbacks are paying the price.You have to know where hes at because he is a guy who can really change the course of the game with how good he is, Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton said.In his last four games, counting the playoffs, Miller has 21 tackles, including four behind the line of scrimmage, nine sacks, 10 quarterback hits (which dont include his sacks), three forced fumbles, an interception and two pass breakups.And this has come against Tom Brady, Newton twice and Luck.Its very amazing just to see the moves he makes at the line, teammate Bradley Roby said. Its very exciting. I know its intimidating for the other offense to watch because its just like, `How do you stop that?---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapletonPatrick McCaw Warriors Jersey .Y. - Nelson Mandela will be honoured by the New York Yankees with a plaque in Monument Park.

Including this weekends series, the Twins and Royals will play four more times before the end of the 2016 campaign.Kansas City has won four of its last five games, with pitching playing a critical role in those wins. The Royals won each of the final two games against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday and Thursday to move ahead of the South Siders in the Central Division standings.Their win was also of the comeback variety, something the Royals have become good at again this season. Their eight comeback wins when trailing after seven innings are the most in baseball.They just dont give up. Even when were not firing in all cylinders we can still find ways to come back and win ball games, said Royals manager Ned Yost. Its Just a group of guys that continue to battle hard. They are not always successful. Weve got a really good defense and our bullpen seems to stand up to those challenges.The Royals will try to take advantage of their momentum over the weekend by continuing their dominance of the limping Twins, who were battered to the tune of 25 runs in getting swept in bboth games of a split doubleheader against the Houston Astros at Target Field on Thursday.ddddddddddddWeve had a fairly decent run here in the short term, but the last three days havent gone well as far as the outcomes, said Twins manager Paul Molitor. Were not going to dwell on it. Its not effort, and were going to have to find a way to re-group and try to get back on track with the Royals coming in.The Twins will be counting on starting pitcher Kyle Gibson to go deep into the game after their two starters combined for just five innings in the doubleheader.Gibson hasnt done much since his season high-water mark on July 22, when he allowed just one run in eight innings against Boston. In three starts since, Gibson hasnt gone beyond six innings and has an ERA of 5.74.The right-hander hasnt faced the Royals this season but has had good success against them in the past, compiling a 5-3 record with 2.55 ERA in eight career starts, including the only compete game of his career last season.Yordano Ventura will get the nod for the Royals. His season has been inconsistent but has been on the uptick lately. His 3.26 ERA over his last six games is more than a full run lower than his season ERA (4.64) and hes allowed a total of three runs his last two times out.Ventura allowed two runs on just two hits but walked six in five innings of work against the Twins in his first start of the season on April 8.
