Miller's five catches led all receivers in the game.
Post-NFL life
After he retired, Miller served as an assistant coach for the Buffalo Bills for three seasons. He also worked at Hutchinson Central Technical High School as a substitute teacher. He started up a sports bar and later an exotic dance club in Miami called the Bird's Nest for several years. He is on the list of retired players that will receive brain testing for Alzheimer's disease, memory loss or dementia as part of the NFL plan to address injuries linked to concussions. He later resided in St. Augustine, Florida,[1] where he died on December 14, 2024, at the age of 84.[2][3]
