Von Miller wouldn’t talk about what the bet was, but it was clear from the moment he stepped to the podium Thursday what his punishment was.

The Denver Broncos pass rusher looked quite a bit different than normal, sporting a mop of dreadlocks that seemed to grow on him the more he thought about them.

Miller has had short hair ever since entering the league as a rookie out of Texas A&M in 2011, but who knows? Maybe this lost bet turned out to be the best thing to ever happen to him?

Or not.
