BRONCOS/RAVENS ALL-TIME RESULTS


The Broncos held the Ravens scoreless in the first quarter, maintain-ing an unblemished mark in the opening period through four games, butthe second quarter belonged to Baltimore. Less than a minute into theperiod, Ravens quarterback Chris Redman hit tight end Todd Heap for a23-yard touchdown pass to put the Ravens on top 7-3. On the Broncos'next possession, the offense was unable to move the ball, and Ravenssafety Ed Reed broke through the middle to block a Tom Rouen punt,which set up Baltimore's next score, just three plays later, a Jamal Lewis2-yard touchdown run.

The Broncos punted on their next possession, and the defenseallowed the Ravens a field goal to increase their lead to 17-3. After aBrian Griese interception, Chris Redman hit Todd Heap for his secondtouchdown of the night, which opened the margin to 24-3. With one sec-ond remaining in the first half, Elam's 57-yard field goal attempt cameup short and was received in the back of the end zone by ChrisMcAlister, who returned it 107 yards for a touchdown to put Baltimoreup 31-3 at halftime. McAlister's missed field goal return was the longestplay in NFL history.

After an early third quarter Ravens field goal increased the lead to 34-3, the Broncos scored their first touchdown of the game on their initialpossession of the second half, a 1-yard run by Reuben Droughns.Neither offense was able to do anything again until late in the third quar-ter when Griese hit Patrick Hape for a 2-yard touchdown. The two-pointconversion failed, but the deficit had been cut to 34-16.

After two Broncos possessions ended with interceptions to open thefourth quarter, Denver got back on track with a 1-yard Griese touchdownrun to cut the margin to 34-23 with 4:42 remaining. The Broncos thenstopped the Ravens' offense, and advanced to the Baltimore 26-yard lineon their ensuing possession, but Elam missed a 44-yard field goalattempt, and the Ravens ran out the clock.

Griese's 35 completions and 53 pass attempts were career highs, andrepresented the third- and fourth-highest (tie) totals, respectively, infranchise history.

REGULAR SEASON REVIEW: WEEK 7

VIKINGS 28, BRONCOS 20 (OCT. 19, 2003)

Despite the Broncos scoring 10 unanswered fourth-quarter points,the Minnesota Vikings were able to hold off Denver's late charge andremain undefeated. The Broncos suffered their second loss of the sea-son, falling 28-20 at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome before acrowd of 64,381. Starting in place of quarterback Jake Plummer, back-up Steve Beuerlein was knocked out of the the game near the end of thethird quarter with a dislocated pinkie finger on his right hand. Third-string quarterback Danny Kanell was forced into the game, his firstaction NFL game since Nov. 12, 2000 with the Atlanta Falcons. In a littleover one quarter of work, Kanell threw for 112 yards on 12 of 18 pass-ing, including a 1-yard touchdown pass to fullback Mike Anderson.

On Minnesota's second drive of the game, the Vikings came up witha key fourth-down conversion to keep their drive alive, and found the end


zone two plays later. Quarterback Daunte Culpepper hit Kelly Campbellon a 47-yard pass for a touchdown to take the early 7-0 lead. Denvermustered some momentum and started a drive on the following pos-session, but Beuerline's pass intended for Rod Smith was intercepted byBrian Russell on Minnesota's 8-yard line.

Early in the second quarter, after forcing a Vikings punt, Denver wasfacing third-and-long at midfield when Beuerlein was intercepted for thesecond time-this time by safety Corey Chavous. A strong effort byDenver's defense forced another Minnesota punt, and the Broncos tookover at their own 17-yard line. Denver tied the scored 7-7 after its nine-play, 83-yard drive was capped by 4-yard touchdown run by ClintonPortis. The teams appeared to be headed to halftime tied, before widereceiver Randy Moss heroics broke the tie. As time ran out in the firsthalf, Culpepper connected on a long pass to Moss 44 yards down field.As he was being tackled by a pair of Broncos defenders, he lateralled toMoe Williams, who ran 15 yards for a touchdown as time expired.

Minnesota's momentum continued on the opening drive of the sec-ond half, as the Vikings drove 71 yards in 10 plays to score on a 5-yardrun by Onterrio Smith. On the ensuing drive, Beuerlein's third intercep-tion of the game was returned 33 yards for a touchdown by linebackerLance Johnstone, giving Minnesota a 28-7 lead.

Denver finally got the gears turning on its next series and drove 48yards on eight plays, setting up a 46-yard Jason Elam field goal. Afteranother defensive stop, the Broncos set up on their own 37-yard line,but on the first play, Beuerlein suffered a dislocated pinkie on his right(throwing) hand and did not return. Danny Kanell came in drove theteam into field-goal range, where Elam hit his second 46-yard field goalof the game to cut the lead to 28-13.

Denver got the ball back, and Kanell again led the Broncos to a score(61 yards in 12 plays), after he found Anderson in the end zone on a 1-yard touchdown pass. Denver's defense held once again, and gave theoffense one last chance to tie the game. Starting the drive at its own 33-yard line, Denver moved the ball down to Minnesota's 25. After twoincomplete passes, a false start penalty and after Portis being held forno gain, Johnstone came up big again for the Vikings, as he knockeddown the final pass attempts, securing the 28-20 win.

HEAD COACH MIKE SHANAHAN’S

MONDAY PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES

Weekly injury update"I think everybody knows about Steve Beuerlein. He has a dislocated

finger and obviously its broken. Ephraim Salaam had an MRI, and hassome cartilage damage. He will be out for about three weeks, and will beable to come back after the bye week. But for now, he is definitely out.Patrick Hape has a mild concussion. He had one of those (CAT) scansand should be all right. No problem there. Shannon Sharpe has a bruisedknee. We have a lot of guys that are having treatment: Chris Cole, LennyWalls, Ed McCaffrey, did have an MRI that was negative. He just hassome irritation down there and hopefully he will be better. I am not real-ly sure about his status until he actually starts practicing. ReubenDroughns, Darius Holland, Mario Fatafehi, (Tom) Nalen, (Keith) Burns,(Nick) Ferguson, (Kenoy) Kennedy and (Daryl) Gardener are all gettingsome treatment. So we have a few guys that are getting treatment butthe serious ones are obviously (Steve) Beuerlein with his finger,(Ephraim) Salaam with the cartilage and Chris Cole with an ankle sprain."

On if he feels QB Danny Kanell can lead the team"I think so. I have a lot of confidence in Danny (Kanell). I fact, whenwe went with two quarterbacks, I had one of those conversations withhim and said, 'If anybody does talk to you, we want you to comebackhere.' We didn't want to lose Danny, but I felt at that time it was bestfor us to go with two quarterbacks, with the thought that no one wouldget hurt. Obviously, (it was) not the proper thought at that time, but itis nice to get Danny back into the uniform and see what he can do.Obviously, he played well. Danny has some game experience. He hasbeen a starter in the National Football League, and played with a lot ofconfidence in the game. We expect him to go in and do the job for us."On how he is going to handle the back-up quarterback position

"We are going to bring a few people in. I don't want to announce it(Monday) because I am not sure exactly what we are going to get done.But, we will definitely have a plan tomorrow that I will share with youand we will go from there."On what he meant by 'bring a few people in'

"Well we will bring in a quarterback that will be our second quarter-back. Then, we will bring a few more people in this week, in case welose a quarterback during the week for some reason. We have to knowwhat direction we will go. Then we will have a few people work out,and if we do lose somebody-during the week like Danny (Kanell), orwhoever that second guy might be-we would know who that next guywould be."On if he knows who the second quarterback will be"I think so, but we haven't come to terms yet. Until an agreement isreached, I don't want to talk prematurely."On where the open roster spot will come from

"That is what we have to decide. We have to sit back and decidewhat direction that we will go. We have some ideas, but I don't wantto say anything until we know for sure."On how to handle all of the injuries

"Anytime you do have injuries, you have to have guys step up. Lookat a guy like Terrell Davis. Nobody knew he was 'Terrell Davis' until hegot the opportunity to play. We could go through all of the runningbacks and guys step up. Danny Kanell stepped up and played excep-tionally well when he went in. I thought Nick Ferguson stepped up andplayed very good when Kenoy Kennedy went down. And that is whatwe expect. That is the nature of the National Football League. You aregoing to have some starters go down and if you are lucky, you don'thave that happen. But when you do have (injuries)-most teams do-these guys have to step up and play at a certain level. I've got a lot ofconfidence in these guys that are back ups and are getting an opportu-nity to play."On the difficulty in bringing a new quarterback to learn the offense

"It is always tough. It is always tough to learn the terminology. Youhave to limit the things that a quarterback could do so you have toweigh the experience and the limitations on what he can do. So it is afine line. But you just don't bring people in that just know the termi-nology but can't play the game. So it is a fine line of what direction weshould go and what direction is in the best interest of the team. So thatis what we are weighing out."On T Ephraim Salaam's knee

"He has to get operated on here in the next couple of days.According to the doctors he should be able to go after the bye week. Tobe honest with you, I am not really sure (if it is the same knee he pre-


viously injured). It is just some cartilage and it is not very serious, buthe does need the work done. If a guy can come back in two or threeweeks, it is just a plus for him. He cannot play with that cartilage theway it is right now, so he has got to have an operation to perform at acertain level, and we will get it done as quick as we can. Hopefully, hewill be back by the bye week."On if T Black Brockermeyer will replace T Ephraim Salaam

"Blake (Brockermeyer) and Cooper (Carlisle) will be playing at theleft tackle position. We will get a chance to evaluate both of them anddecide which direction we will go. Both guys have played there, andboth have experience playing at that position. We did move Cooperinside for obvious reasons, and now we are going to move Cooper backout. We will bring Steve Herndon back inside and have some competi-tion there at the left tackle position."On the play of LB Jashon Sykes

"I thought he did a pretty good job. I thought he stepped in and real-ly played the run well. We had some substitute packages where he onlyplayed 25-30 plays, but I thought he played pretty good."On Minnesota's lateral play for a touchdown at the end of the half

"I can't ask the refs to (review) inside the last two minutes. Theyhave to do it upstairs. But both of those plays were reviewable-goingover the line of scrimmage and the lateral. What most people won'tunderstand about going across the line of scrimmage is that if the ballis on the line of scrimmage, you are not over the line of scrimmage.Your whole body could be over, and if the ball is launched from the lineof scrimmage, it still does not count as the quarterback being beyondthe line of scrimmage. I didn't think that we would get that one. Ithought that was a little far-fetched. When I looked at it, I though hewas behind the line of scrimmage anyhow. I wasn't sure about the lat-eral because I had no idea how it happened until this morning. Thatwas even more amazing after I looked at it. What I was more madabout was watching the tackle at the time. Reggie Hayward was tryingto get away from their right tackle and he got tackled. I was more madat that than anything else. But that is part of it, we get away with a fewholds now and then too. That is just part of the game."On the reason behind QB Steve Beuerlein being sacked five times

"I think it is a combination of everything. Anytime you get into aplace like that (The Metrodome), with the crowd noise, they get a littlejump on you. Could the offensive line have protected a little bit better?Probably. Could Steve (Beuerlein) have thrown the ball a little bit quick-er? Probably. Could I have put them in situations that didn't demandthat type of protection? Probably. So there are a lot of things that youcan go back to and say that we should have done this or that. You dosecond guess yourself on whether you did the right thing during thegame. But the bottom line is that they got the job done and we didn't,and they won a football game and deserved to win."On what direction they will go with Beuerlein's injury

"I brought Steve in today and I told him that I am not really sure whatwe are going to do. I am going to sit down and talk to the doctors. Isit two to three weeks? Is it three to four weeks? Is it four to six weeks?Ephraim Salaam going down is part of the equation of bringing peopleon. There are a bunch of scenarios that I have to think through, and togive you a few of the circumstances I am going over would be kind oftough because there is too much detail. But the bottom line is that wewill make a decision later on tonight and get our game plan and go.

On how he thought the secondary played against Minnesota"Well what they (Minnesota) did was they made four plays out of the

pocket. We wanted (Daunte) Culpepper to be inside throwing the foot-ball. Every play that they made was a play outside the pocket where thequarterback had nobody to throw to, he broke containment and four ofthose big plays were just athletes making plays. Part of our game planwas not to let him (Culpepper) out of the pocket and I take my hat off tohim. He found a way to get out and a plus for him. We'll go back andtake a look at our rush lanes and I am disappointed in some of the thingswe did. That is part of a game plan. We knew that going in that theymade a number of plays outside the pocket and they did it against us too."On S Kenoy Kennedy

"We were going to play him a little bit more than we did, and thenwe got into the game and the other two guys (Nick Ferguson and SamBrandon) were playing fairly well. I had some reservations putting himinto the situation on that astro-turf. I was afraid that might set him backa little bit. So he should be 100 percent this week."On the play of WR Adrian Madise

"He did all right. He made a couple of mistakes but those mistakeswere made at full speed. He has got a lot of talent and he is going toget better as time goes on and he doesn't make mistakes at full speed."On the play of CB Deltha O'Neal

"No I am not disappointed in him. I am disappointed that he gaveup a touchdown on the scramble. We had three deep and I expect aveteran to stay behind that wide receiver so I was disappointed in thatplay but Kelly Herndon is our starter."

BRONCOS HEAD COACH MIKE SHANAHAN

Mike Shanahan, the winningest active coach in NFL postseason his-tory (minimum five games), has completed eight campaigns as thehead coach for the Broncos.

No head coach in the NFL has won more games than MikeShanahan's 93 victories since the start of the 1995 season. Those 93wins by Mike Shanahan include seven straight in the playoffs (he is theonly coach to have produced seven playoff wins in two years) during the1997 and 1998 World Championship seasons, years in which he firmlyestablished himself among the game’s sideline greats. His postseasonpercentage of .778, on a 7-2 record, is second only to Vince Lombardi(9-1, .900) among coaches with more than five playoff victories.

Under Shanahan's guidance, Denver has: Posted the most wins in profootball history in a two-year period (33 in 1997-98); posted the mostwins in pro football history in a three-year period (46 in 1996-98); wonthe most postseason games ever in a two-year period (seven, 1997-98);won 18 straight games over 1997-98 to tie the all-time NFL record forconsecutive wins; been undefeated for three straight regular seasons athome (1996-98), just the second team ever to do so; and posted a 22-2record in its last 24 games during the back-to-back title years.

He produced consecutive Super Bowl titles, three straight 13-plus winseasons (including postseason), and two AFC West titles from 1996-98.Shanahan led Denver to a 14-2 regular season mark and a 3-0 postsea-son mark in 1998, taking the Broncos back to the victorious Super Bowlglory they experienced in 1997. In his third season with the Broncos in1997, Shanahan not only led the Broncos back to the Super Bowl for thefirst time in eight years, but he directed them to their first ever SuperBowl victory. Only Red Miller (1st year) in 1977 got a Broncos’ team tothe Super Bowl faster than Shanahan did. In his ninth year with Denver,he has fashioned a franchise-record regular season home mark of 54-14(.794), a regular season mark of 86-49 (.637), and an overall mark of 93-51 (.646). His NFL record as a head coach in regular season play is 94-62 (.603) and his overall record is 101-64 (.612).

Over the last 12 years (ninth in Denver and the previous three in SanFrancisco) Mike Shanahan's offenses have finished number one in theNFL four times, second twice and third twice; in two of those campaignsDenver was just 17 yards and 83 yards short of the number one spot.

In 1998 the defending world champions stormed to their secondstraight title with an offense that scored 501 points and finished third in

the NFL in total yards, while the defense had another spectacular post-season, allowing just 25 points and two touchdowns while sparking aremarkable 13-1 turnover ratio in the playoffs.

In 1997 he directed a Denver offense that scored a total of 583 points(29.2 per game) during the entire 1997 season, the fifth highest total inNFL history and the second highest total in AFC history for a combinedregular and postseason. Of course, in 1998 Shanahan's Broncostopped that mark by producing 596 regular and postseason points. Theall-time high of 636 points came from the 1994 World Champion SanFrancisco 49ers, for whom Shanahan was the offensive coordinator.

He led his team to a 12-4 regular season record in 1997, marking thefirst time in franchise history that the team won 12 or more games inback-to-back seasons.

His high-powered offense reached 30 points a franchise record ninetimes during the 1997 regular season and twice in the postseason.Denver also broke the franchise record for most points in a season (pre-viously 391 in 1996) in just their 13th game of 1997 and broke the recordfor most touchdowns in a season (previously 47 in 1996) in just their14th game. In 1997 postseason play, Denver scored nine touchdowns innine goal-to-go situations, including four-of-four in Super Bowl XXXIX.Conversely, opponents started six drives in Denver territory in the post-season, netting just six points (two field goals). Denver scored 13 touch-downs in 16 red zone opportunities in the postseason and of theBroncos' 46 postseason possessions, Denver scored 16 times (14touchdowns and two field goals), accomplishing that feat against teamswith a combined record of 51-16 at the time of each game.

During his NFL career, Shanahan has been a part of teams that haveplayed in nine conference Championship Games, in addition to his sixSuper Bowl appearances (three victories), five with Denver and SuperBowl XXIX with San Francisco. In his 26 seasons as a pro and collegecoach, Shanahan's teams have participated in postseason or bowlgames 21 times. Shanahan is a graduate of Eastern Illinois University,and also has a master’s degree from that institution.

RAVENS HEAD COACH BRIAN BILLICK

Brian Billick is the 2nd head coach in the Baltimore Ravens' franchisehistory. Now in his 5th season with the Ravens, he owns a 45-31 (.592)record. Billick led the youngest team in NFL history (19 1st-year play-ers on opening day) to a 7-9 record in 2002, after a historic salary capcleansing following the 2001 season.

The team finished 10-6 and advanced to the Divisional Round of theplayoffs in 2001. He guided the Ravens to a Super Bowl XXXV victoryin 2000 after finishing 8-8 in 1999. Billick has directed the highest scor-ing offense in league history (556 points as Minnesota's offensive coor-dinator in 1998) and was the head coach of the league's stingiestdefense (165 points in 2000 - the fewest allowed since the NFL went toa 16-game schedule in 1978).

Prior to joining the Ravens, Billick was with the Minnesota Vikings,first as tight ends coach (1992), then was promoted to offensive coor-dinator 3 games into the 1993 season. Before his appointment with theVikings, Brian was a Stanford assistant (1989-91) and the offensivecoordinator at Utah State (1986-88). Billick coached tight ends andquarterbacks at San Diego State from 1981-85 and was an assistant atthe University of the Redlands in 1979.


Billick began his coaching career in 1978 as a graduate assistant atBYU. He worked with the San Francisco 49ers (1979-80) as the assis-tant director of public relations. Two years earlier (1977), he was draft-ed by the 49ers in the 11th round, was released and had a brief stintwith the Dallas Cowboys. Billick was an honorable mention All-American tight end at BYU (1976) after transferring from the Air ForceAcademy.

Updated Oct. 20, 2003

QUARTERBACKS 11 • Steve Beuerlein • QB • 6-3 • 220 • 17 • Notre Dame Regular Season Games Played/Games Started: 2003: 4/2; Career: 148/102 2003 Regular Season: Beuerlein has seen action in four games, starting two (vs. Pit., 10/12 and at Min., 10/19), and completed 33 of 63 passes (52.4%) for 389 yds., with two touchdowns and five interceptions, for a 49.0 passer rating. He has also been sacked nine times (-60) and rushed five times for 13 yds. (2.6) with a long of 7. Beuerlein fractured his right little finger in the 3rd qtr. at Min. (10/19) and is expected to miss several weeks. He attempted no passes at Cin. (9/7) after he entered the game for starter Jake Plummer on the Broncos final offensive series to secure a 30-10 Denver victory. Beuerlein rushed one time for a 7-yd. gain and was sacked once for a 6-yd. loss. He entered the game at S.D. (9/14) with just one minute to play in the second quarter, replacing an injured Jake Plummer (shoulder) and played the rest of the game, completing 7 of 16 passes (43.8%) for 98 yds. Beuerlein was also sacked once (-7) and his longest completion went for 26 yds. to Shannon Sharpe, as he preserved Denver’s lead and secured a 37-13 win. In Wk. 6 vs. Pit. (10/12) Beuerlein started in place of Jake Plummer (right shoulder) and completed 17 of 28 passes (60.7) for 172 yds. and two touchdowns, while throwing two interceptions for a passer rating of 72.3. His two scoring tosses came in the second quarter to Sharpe (10 yds.) and in the final stanza to Rod Smith (11 yds.). Beuerlein also rushed once for 5 yds. On Denver’s final drive Beuerlein completed five of seven passes for 44 yds. to set up the game-winning field goal, kicked as time expired for a 17-14 victory. His fourth-quarter totals were 8-12 for 97 yds. and a touchdown (119.1 rating), as he led the Broncos to a touchdown and a field goal on their final two possessions. In Wk. 7 at Min. (10/19), Beuerlein, starting for the injured Jake Plummer (left foot), completed nine of 19 passes (47.4%) for 119 yds., while throwing three interceptions and being sacked five times (-40). With 3:31 remaining in the third quarter, he fractured the little finger on his throwing hand while attempting a pass to Ashley Lelie. Beuerlein was replaced by Danny Kanell and did not return to the game. Beuerlein’s 2003 Totals Passing G S Att. Comp. Yds. Pct. Yd./Att. TD % Int. % LG S/Yd.

He was inactive as the Broncos’ third quarterback for the first four games after his return, and was the backup quarterback in Wk. 7 at Min. (10/19). Kanell saw his first action of the season in that contest when he replaced Steve Beuerlein (injured finger) with 3:24 remaining in the third quarter to complete 12 of 18 passes (66.7%) for 104 yds. with one touchdown. His lone touchdown pass to Mike Anderson from 1-yd. out made it a one possession game for the Broncos. Kanell then drove the Broncos to the Vikings’ 30-yd. line with less than a minute to play, but came up just short when his 4th-and-10 pass attempt to Clinton Portis was knocked down at the line of scrimmage. Kanell’s action at Min. was his first in the NFL since Nov. 12, 2000 at Detroit, as a member of the Atlanta Falcons. His touchdown toss to Anderson was his first since Nov. 5, 2000 when he connected with Terrence Mathis for a 16-yd. score vs. Tampa Bay. Kanell’s 2003 Totals Passing G S Att. Comp. Yds. Pct. Yd./Att.

16 • Jake Plummer • QB • 6-2 • 212 • 7 • Arizona State Regular Season Games Played/Games Started: 2003: 5/5; Career: 89/87 2003 Regular Season: Plummer has started five of seven games—missing Wk. 6 vs. Pit. (10/12) and Wk. 7 at Min. (10/19), because of injuries to his right shoulder and left foot—and completed 80 of 131 passes (61.1%) for 903 yds. and 8 touchdowns, with 3 interceptions, for a passer rating of 92.5. He is tied for fifth in the AFC in touchdown passes and ranks fifth in the NFL in passer rating. In addition, Plummer has thrown eight touchdown passes without an interception in his last four games, marking the first time in his career he has gone four straight games without a pick. Plummer started in the opener at Cin. (9/7) and completed 12 or 25 pass attempts (48.0) for 115 yds. and three interceptions. His longest completion of the day a 23-yard strike to Shannon Sharpe that began the drive that would lead to the Broncos’ second touchdown. At S.D. (9/14) in Week 2, Plummer completed 9 of 13 passes (69.2%) for 94 yds. and three touchdowns in less than a half of football. Two of his touchdown throws came in the opening quarter, marking a first for his career. Plummer suffered a first-degree separation of his right shoulder with 8:11 remaining in the second quarter while rushing the ball for a 2-yd. gain and a Broncos’ first down on a 4th-and-1 play from the Chargers’ 5-yd. line. Two plays later he threw his third touchdown of the day to tackle Cooper Carlisle (6 yds.) before leaving the game for good, as he watched the remainder from the sidelines. In the home opener vs. Oak. (9/22), on Monday Night Football, Plummer overcame soreness from the previous week’s shoulder injury to complete 14 of 21 passes (66.7%) for 197 yds. and two touchdowns, while adding five rushes for 48 yds. (9.6) and one touchdown. His Wk. 3 performance earned him AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors; the MNF Horse Trailer Player of the Game award, and the Snickers Hungriest Player Award. With both passing touchdowns coming in the opening quarter, it marked the second consecutive week that he had thrown for two scores in the first quarter; the first two times of his career. Plummer’s first scoring toss covered 18 yds. to Shannon Sharpe and his second went for 44 yds. to Ashley Lelie. His 40-yard run in the second quarter was the longest of his career and the longest rush ever by a Broncos quarterback, topping Bubby Brister’s 38-yd. touchdown run at Kansas City, Nov. 16, 1998, also on Monday Night Football. In Wk. 4 vs. Det. (9/28), Plummer completed 25 of 34 passes (73.5) for 277 yds. and two touchdowns while leading the team in rushing with 40 yds. on six carries (6.7). His touchdowns covered 29 yds. to Lelie and 1 yd. to Sharpe, and gave him seven touchdown passes in his last three games. On the two touchdown drives,which came on back-to-back possessions in the first half, Plummer completed 10 of 10 passes for 133 yds. In the first half, he put together a string of 16 straight pass completions, tying the fourth longest streak in franchise history (third longest in the same game). Additionally, Plummer’s 73.5 completion percentage was the second-best of his career, and it marked the first time in his career that he has completed 66.7% of his passes or better for three straight games. In Wk. 5 at K.C. (10/5), he completed 20 of 38 passes (52.6) for 220 yds. and one touchdown, while adding 22 yds. rushing on three attempts (7.3). Plummer’s lone touchdown came on a rollout in the red zone on which he found tight end Dwayne Carswell in the end zone for a 6-yd. touchdown pass. With the touchdown, he extended his streak to eight touchdowns with no interceptions dating back to Wk. 2. Plummer’s 2003 Totals Passing G S Att. Comp. Yds. Pct. Yd./Att. TD % Int. % LG S/Yd.

RUNNING BACKS 38 • Mike Anderson • RB • 6-0 • 230 • 4 • Utah Regular Season Games Played/Games Started: 2003: 7/2; Career: 54/33 2003 Regular Season: Anderson has played in all seven games as the primary fullback, but has only started twice (vs. Det., 9/28 and at Min., 10/19) because the Broncos have opened in a two-tight end formation in the other five games. He has rushed 49 times for 198 yds. (4.0) and two touchdowns with a long of 44, while also adding nine receptions for 41 yds (4.6) with a long of 18 and a touchdown. In the opener at Cin. (9/7), he rushed seven times for 15 yards and also recorded a special teams tackle. Anderson began at fullback at S.D. (9/14) but replaced an injured Clinton Portis (bruised sternum) in the second quarter and went on to rush for 65 yds. and a touchdown on 16 carries (3.5). His score came on a 1-yd. run in the third quarter, and was the 22nd rushing TD of Anderson’s career, tying Jon Keyworth for sixth place on Denver’s all-time list. In the home opener vs. Oak. (9/22), he again replaced Portis at tailback and rushed 14 times for 70 yds. and one touchdown, while adding two receptions for 5 yds. The touchdown was the 23rd of his career, moving him past Jon Keyworth for sixth on Denver’s all-time rushing TD list, while his 70 rushing yds. moved him past Keyworth (2,653) for sixth in that category, as well. Anderson left the game with 12:15 to play in the fourth quarter when he injured his right knee. In Wk. 4 vs. Det. (9/28), he got his first start of the season in place of an injured Clinton Portis (sternum) at tailback. Anderson rushed seven times of 21 yds. (3.0) and caught three passes for 28 yds.

(TD). He also ranks third on the team in receptions with 19 for 187 yds. (9.8) with a long of 72, for 783 total yds. from scrimmage (4th AFC/6th NFL). He ranks third in the AFC (7th NFL) in rushing yds.; third in the AFC (T4th NFL) in yds.-per-carry among running backs and tied for third in the AFC in first downs (35), despite being slowed in Wks. 2-3, and missing Wk. 4 (vs. Det.) because of a bruised sternum. In the season opener at Cin. (9/7), Portis tallied 120 yds. and two touchdowns on 24 carries (5.0). His season-opening performance was good enough to earn Portis the NFL’s FedEx Ground Player of the Week award. Ninety of those rushing yards came in the first half off 13 carries (6.9). Portis’ first touchdown of the season came on a 2-yd. dive off right guard with his second coming from 8 yds. out. After Wk. 1 he had scored eight rushing touchdowns in his last four games, dating back to 2002, and nine total in that period. Portis’ 120 rushing yds. were the most ever recorded by a Bronco in a season opener. It also marked just the sixth time a Bronco has surpassed the century mark in rushing to open a season and the first time it was accomplished on the road. Portis also tallied five receptions for 39 yards in Week 1. In Week 2 at S.D. (9/14), Portis rushed for 129 yds. on just 12 carries (10.8) before leaving the game for good late in the first half because of a bruised sternum. In the first quarter he ran for 110 yds.—his first ever 100-yard quarter—on just seven carries (15.7), including a 58-yd. scamper, to surpass his previous best yds. in a quarter (80). Portis’ first-half total of 129 yds. was also a personal best for yards in a half. With the 100-yd. rushing game, Portis tied George Rogers for the third fewest games necessary to post 10 career 100-yd. rushing games in NFL history. He notched his 10th career 100-yd. game in just his 18th NFL game (14th start). Edgerrin James recorded his 10th 100-yd. performance in his 15th game and Eric Dickerson reached the mark in his 17th game. Portis also moved past Bobby Humphrey (9) for the fourth most 100-yd. rushing games in Broncos history. In the home opener vs. Oak. (9/22), Portis rushed 10 times for 42 yds. (4.2) with a long of 13 and caught one pass for no gain, while being played sparingly after the first quarter due to an existing sternum injury. He carried the ball on five of Denver’s first six plays to set up the first touchdown, and his early runs opened up the passing game that propelled the Broncos to a 21-0 first-quarter lead. In Wk. 5 at K.C. (10/5), Portis bounced back form a sternum injury that caused his to miss Wk. 4 (vs. Det.) to rush for a season-high 141 yds. on 23 carries (6.1) and a touchdown, while adding five receptions for a career-high 79 yds. (15.8), to post a season-best 220 total yds. from scrimmage, the second best total of his career. He also set new careers bests with a 65-yd. run from scrimmage for a touchdown, and a 72-yd. reception from Rod Smith on an end-around pass, making him just the third player since 1970 to post a run and a reception of 60+ yards in the same game. The others to accomplish this feat are San Francisco’s Delvin Williams in 1976 (80 & 85 vs. Washington, Nov. 7) and Herschel Walker in 1986 (84 & 84 vs. Philadelphia, Dec. 14). Portis’ 65-yd. run was the longest run by a Bronco since 11/26/00 when Mike Anderson broke one for an 80-yd. touchdown at Sea. In addition, 110 of Portis’ 141 yds. came in the second half, giving him his



second 100-yd. half of the season, and fourth of his career. In Wk. 7 at Min. (10/19), he rushed for 117 yds. on 25 carries (4.7) and a touchdown while adding three receptions for 43 yds. (14.3). Portis’ touchdown came from from 4 yds. out when he followed left tackle Ephraim Salaam into the end zone. Portis’ 2003 Totals Rushing Receiving G S No. Yds. Avg. LG TD Rec. Yds. Avg.

He has also rushed five times for 44 yds. (8.8) with a long of 26. In the opener at Cin. (9/7) he caught five passes for a team-high 43 yds. He also tied a career high in rushing attempts when he ran the ball three times for 23 yds. At S.D. (9/14) Smith again led all Broncos receivers with five receptions for 71 yds. (14.2). He was ejected from the Wk. 3 game vs. Oak. (9/22) with 7:49 remaining in the second quarter after inadvertently striking an official while trying to separate himself from Raiders DT Chris Cooper after the whistle had blown. Smith left the game with one catch for 7 yds., one rush for -5 and one punt return for 15 yds. It was his first punt return since Sept. 14, 1997 (vs St. L.), and came in place of Deltha O’Neal who was briefly out of the game because of an elbow injury. In Wk. 4 vs. Det. (9/28), Smith caught fives passes for 61 yds. (12.2). In Wk. 5 at K.C. (10/5), he caught a team- and season-high eight receptions for 130 yds. (16.3) and threw one completed pass to Clinton Portis for a 72-yd. gain. Smith extended his franchise record with his 27th career 100-yd. game, and it was his ninth against K.C. His 72-yd. pass completion was the longest of his career, the only other completion coming on a 14-yd. reception to John Elway against Oakland on 11/22/98. In Wk. 6 vs. Pit. (10/12), Smith caught four passes for 70 yds. (17.5) and a touchdown and ran the ball once for a 26-yd. gain.

KICKERS 1 • Jason Elam • K • 5-11 • 200 • 11 • Hawaii Regular Season Games Played/Games Started: 2003: 7/0; Career: 163/0 2003 Regular Season: Elam has played in all seven games and converted 15-of-16 field goal attempts (.938) and all 19 point-after attempts to account for 64 points, tied for first in the NFL). He currently ranks 19th on the NFL’s all-time scoring list with 1,257 points after passing Jim Breech (1,246) in Wk. 6 vs. Pit. (10/12). Elam now trails Baltimore’s Matt Stover (1,271) by 14 points for 18th place. Elam is tied for first in the NFL in 2003 in field goals. He owns the NFL record for consecutive PATs (371) and has made 429 of 431 (.995) in his career, the highest career percentage for PATs in NFL history. For his career Elam has connected on 30 of 49 (.612) field goal attempts from 50+ yards (29/45, .644, from 50-59 and 1-4, .250, from 60+). In the opener at Cin. (9/7), he was perfect on three field goal attempts (51, 27, 39) and converted all three PAT attempts to account for 12 of the Broncos’ 30 points. With those 12 points, Elam eclipsed the 1,200-point plateau to reach 1,205, and did so in fewer games than any player in NFL history (157 games). In Week 2 at S.D. (9/14), Elam connected on 3-of-3 field goals (30, 34, 45) and all four PAT’s to tally 13 points for the Broncos. In Wk. 3 vs. Oak (9/22), he hit all four PAT’s and converted on a 20-yd. field goal, his only field goal attempt of the game. In Wk. 4 vs. Det.

The 53-yd. attempt was his first miss of the year, and ended his streak of 16 consecutive field goals made, the second-longest streak in franchise history, behind his own streak of 19 in 1997-98. In Wk. 6 vs. Pit. (10/12), Elam converted both PAT attempts and made his first game-winning field goal of the season when he connected on a 47-yarder as time expired. With the field goal, he surpassed Jim Breech and moved into 19th place on the NFL’s all-time scoring list, with 1,249. In Wk. 7 at Min. (10/19), Elam connected on a pair of 46-yd. field goals and both of his PAT attempts. Elam’s 2003 Totals Field Goals PATs G 1-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60+ Total Pct. Md./Att. Pct.
