MORE: Madden covers through the years What the team didn’t do however is ask why Miller is getting punked in two official screenshots released by EA Sports. Despite being involved with the company as part of the promotional program for Madden NFL 17, two of the first three images officially released for the upcoming game feature Miller getting shown up by offensive players. In one, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is dismissing him with a stiff-arm. In the other it’s Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley hurdling over his tackle attempt.
Maybe there’s someone on the marketing team at EA that isn’t fond of Miller or the Broncos. The joke could be on them though — at least he gets to avoid the “Madden Curse.”
