While recognizing multiple contributing factors in Buffalo's run to the AFC Championship Game, Miller singled out Allen as the difference-maker most-responsible for the Bills' annual presence amongst the league's elite teams.

One of those decisions could involve parting ways with a $120 million All-Pro. While there have been no reports of the Bills interested in cutting linebacker Von Miller, ESPN's Bill Barnwell listed him as a potential release candidate.
