Von Miller, Denver Broncos Defensive Star, got Sick on Mozzarella Sticks at 'Star Wars'

Just like a Ferrari doesn't do well on regular gas (who knows, it actually might, let it slide), an NFL football player doesn't do well on regular, greasy, movie theater food. Just ask Von Miller of the Denver Broncos, who got sick on some mozzarella sticks while watching Star Wars.

According to Lindsay Jones of USA Today, Miller caught a Tuesday showing of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He munched on some mozzarella sticks and washed it all down with an icee (amazing, right?). However, midway through the showing, Miller's stomach started acting up and he fell asleep. Which is just about as criminal as stealing a Ferrari off the lot.

This wasn't just a little cramp, though. Miller was really sick. He was sent home from practice the next day by his coaches because of it.

"The Force struck back," Miller said on Thursday, via USA Today.

Thankfully, for the Broncos and Broncos fans everywhere, it was just a 24-hour thing. He returned to practice the next day.

"You can't put just regular gas in a Ferrari," Miller said, via Yahoo! Sports.

Denver is set to face the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday in the AFC Divisional round of the Playoffs. The Broncos come in fresh off of a first round bye, thanks to their finish atop the division during the regular season. They've had ample to to recharge the batteries, mend some wounds, and go over the playbook. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh is just happy to be playing this week.

The Steelers took on the Cincinnati Bengals last week in their first round matchup. After rallying from a 15-point deficit, the Bengals had the lead, and the ball, with 1:30 remaining in the game. It was all but won. But then they fumbled the ball, had a couple personal fouls, and put the Steelers in a more than manageable field goal distance. Steelers kicker Chris Boswell then drilled a 35-yard field goal with 14 seconds remaining, effectively breaking the hearts of every Cincinnati resident.
