    AP says lone vote not for JJ Watt for DPoY was @ashleyfoxespn, who voted for Von Miller.

    Well deserved, it should have been unanimous. He was a freaking terror all year long.

    Ashley Fox is a complete broncos homer. She said that the ravens had no shot against Denver. Not surprised she picked Miller
