Bills' Von Miller Benched for Game Against Patriots

Decision by Coach McDermott Follows Miller's Recent Arrest and Underperformance on the Field

Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller was made a healthy scratch for the team's game against the New England Patriots.
Miller, who has struggled on the field this season, was benched in a decision made by head coach Sean McDermott.
The decision comes a month after Miller was arrested on charges of third-degree felony assault of a pregnant woman, allegations he has denied.
Despite his legal troubles and lackluster performance, the Bills have maintained a strong season, currently holding sixth place in the AFC standings.
Miller is in the second year of a six-year, $120 million contract with the Bills.
