AFTER PORTIS RUNS ROUGHSHOD OVER CHIEFS;

BRONCOS STAY HOME TO FACE BROWNS SUNDAY

The home crowd of 76,403 at INVESCO Field at Mile High was happi-ly entertained Sunday by the Clinton Portis show. After rushing for 170yards and two touchdowns at Oakland the previous week, Portis onceagain stepped up and led the Broncos to a 45-27 win over AFC West-leading Kansas City. Portis only managed 20 yards in the first half, butexploded in the second with 198 yards and three of his franchise-recordfive rushing touchdowns. He finished the day with 218 yards on 22 car-ries, and a 9.9 average. Additionally, it was the sixth 200-yard rushinggame in Broncos history, and second of Portis’ career.

The Broncos trailed Kansas City 21-17 at halftime, but came out ofthe locker room and completely dominated the Chiefs in the secondhalf. In a span of approximately 13 minutes between the third andfourth quarters, Denver scored 28-unanswered points to put the Chiefsaway and secure its fifth division win of the season.

With the win, and a loss by Miami, Denver now holds the final wildcard spot if the playoffs were to begin this week.

BRONCOS 44, BROWNS 10

The Broncos snapped a two-game home losing streak by defeatingthe Cleveland Browns 44-10 in front of 75,811 at Mile High Stadium.

After a slow start-the game was tied 3-3 midway through the secondquarter-Denver scored at least 10 points in each of the final three quar-ters and held the Browns to just a touchdown the rest of the day, allow-ing the opponent 10 points or less for the second straight contest.

Brian Griese reached the 300-yard passing mark by halftime to posthis third 300-yard passing game of the season, and both Ed McCaffrey(129) and Rod Smith (111) each reached the 100-yard mark on fivereceptions. Mike Anderson also produced 100 yards rushing for thethird time this season with 103 yards on 20 carries and one touchdown.

Smith, who recorded the 300th reception of his career in the game,also tied the franchise record with a career high three touchdown recep-tions. His first two came in the second quarter on 22- and 17-yard strikesfrom Griese to open up a 17-3 cushion, en route to a 20-3 halftime leadon the strength of a 22-yard Jason Elam field goal. Smith passed HavenMoses (302) for seventh place all-time in receptions by a Bronco duringthe contest and McCaffrey also reached a milestone by passing AlDenson (4,150) for 10th place all-time in receiving yards by a Bronco.

This was Denver's third game of the season without committing aturnover. It also marked just the second time in franchise history that theBroncos have had a 300-yard passer, 100-yard rusher and two 100-yardreceivers in the same game. The first occurred Oct. 17, 1999 vs. Green Bay.

REGULAR SEASON REVIEW: GAME 13

BRONCOS 45, CHIEFS 27 (DEC. 7, 2003)

By rushing for 218 yards on 22 carries (9.9 avg.) and a franchise-record five touchdowns, running back Clinton Portis led the Broncos toa 45-27 win over the division-leading Kansas City Chiefs at INVESCOField in front of 76,403. With the win, Denver improved to 8-5, and keptits playoff hopes alive. Portis recorded the sixth 200-yard rushing gamein Denver history, and second of his career.

Denver jumped out to an early start by driving for a touchdown onits opening possession. Quarterback Jake Plummer drove the Broncos74 yards in 10 plays setting up Portis' 11-yard touchdown run. Kansas

City answered its first drive of the game, when running back PriestHolmes evened the score at 7-7 with a 2-yard touchdown run. Early inthe second quarter, Denver drove the length of the field and Portisscored his second touchdown of the game, on a 1-yard run. After DanteHall's 61-yard punt return gave the Chiefs the ball at Denver's 36-yardline, Kansas City tied the game at 14 on a 1-yard touchdown run byHolmes. Denver regained the lead with a 47-yard Jason Elam field goal,but with 1:26 left in the first half, Chiefs quarterback Trent Green foundEddie Kennison on a 42-yard touchdown pass to give the Chiefs a 21-17 halftime lead.

The second half, however, was a completely different story for theBroncos. The defense stepped up and stopped Kansas City on theopening drive of the second half, giving the offense momentum to getrolling. From the 5:58 mark in the third quarter to the 7:58 mark in thefourth quarter, Denver scored 28-unanswered points-including threePortis touchdown runs-to build a 45-21 lead. Fullback ReubenDroughns started the barrage with a 3-yard touchdown catch fromPlummer. Later in the third quarter, Portis busted through the Chiefs'defense and sprinted 59 yards for his third touchdown of the game. Onthe Broncos next drive, Portis scored on a 28-yard run, and closed outhis scoring-fest with a 53-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

With his rushing performance-one of the best by a Broncos runningback-Portis set a franchise record with five touchdowns (all rushing),and is only the second Bronco to score at least four rushing touch-downs in a game (Mike Anderson had four at New Orleans in 2000).The five touchdowns also tied for the fourth most in NFL history (threeplayers have scored six: Ernie Nevers, Dub Jones and Gale Sayers), andPortis is the 12th player to score five in an NFL game. Additionally, itwas Portis' fifth straight game over 100 yards (nine this season), andthe 17th of his career. In two games against the Chiefs in Denver, Portishas 43 rushes for 348 yards (8.1 avg.), five receptions for 111 yardsand nine touchdowns (8 rush/1 rec). In the second half alone, Portisrushed 11 times for 188 yards-the most in a single half in the NFL Nov.11, 2001, when Seattle's Shaun Alexander had 192 against Oakland.The 188 yards in a a half is a Broncos record, as it topped the 168Terrell Davis had in the first half against Philadelphia on Oct. 4, 1998.

HEAD COACH MIKE SHANAHAN’S

MONDAY PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES

Weekly Injury Update"Reggie Hayward has a first and second-degree AC sprain. We will get a

chance to see where he is at during the week, but right now he is quite sore.Scott Turner has a second-degree MCL, and we will get a chance to evaluate thatlater in the week. Reuben Droughns has an ankle sprain. The MRI was negativewhich means he just has a sore ankle. Today he was on crutches and had a hardtime walking, but it's positive that the MRI was negative, just showing the anklesprain, so we are in pretty good shape there."On FB Mike Anderson's return after a four-game suspension

"I really haven't (spoken with Anderson). I am sure he will come in onWednesday ready to go. It is always nice to have depth at the fullback position.We have been fairly fortunate to have just one fullback and Patrick Hape has real-ly played two positions. Patrick has done a great job of filling in at the fullbackposition. But with Reuben having an ankle sprain, it is a perfect time for Miketo come back."On if FB Mike Anderson getting the starting job back

"It is not getting your job back, but (instead it is about) getting back into foot-ball shape. The guy (Mike Anderson) has been out for four weeks and hasn'tbeen around here. Even if you come back and play, it is not natural to come back


and play a full game or play at a certain level when you haven't practiced for amonth. So regardless of the scenario, it is going to take Mike some time to getback in shape, and hopefully Reuben will be able to play and if not Patrick hasbeen practicing at that position and he'll be the guy."On DT Daryl Gardener

"Well, he has got a non-football illness and right now he is seeking treatmenton some personal issues and will not be with us for the rest of the season. Westill have his rights. I will address that at the end of the season and see wherehe is at, talk to his agent, and make a decision down the road. I have not talkedto Daryl. I have talked to his agent."On if re-watching Sunday's game made it just as impressive

"It was. Anytime you move the football like we did on offense, you feel pret-ty good. When you get six touchdowns and a field goal and you basically havethe ball on nine drives-and won was the two-minute offense and one was whenthe game was out of reach with five minutes left in the fourth quarter-that meansthat you are doing a lot of things right on offense. That was nice to get intorhythm and play well for a full 60 minutes. I was pleased with the defense, as Italked about yesterday, in the third quarter. Three series that were three playsand out is pretty impressive, after the first half when we saw how well they couldmove the football. So I was pleased there. On special teams I thought we didsome good things. On our kickoff coverage, our punt coverage, we kicked theball high and tried to keep it out-of-bounds so there wasn't too much of a threatthere. But sometimes if you don't have great protection or the punter isn't punt-ing well, it can turn into six points for them very quickly."On if he saw RB Clinton Portis' championship belt on the sidelines

"Yes I did. I saw that late. I saw that late. That was a little bit of a surpriseto me, I have to admit. I said, 'Hey, if you guys play that well, you can do justabout anything that you want.' I think Shannon (Sharpe) is the one that startedit. I saw Shannon have it initially and I am not exactly sure how it got out therebut they had fun with it.On if RB Clinton Portis' rushing effort

"There is no way that you have the success that Clinton had without every-body playing extremely well. You don't average 10 yards per carry unless youhave wide receivers blocking extremely well, your offensive line being veryunselfish, and 11 guys really playing together. A lot of those quarterback keepsand those types of things will really keep the defense honest in the runninggame. So it was a combination of all those things that gave him a chance at abig day. He did a good job initially in the first half and got some break outs inthe second half and that was nice to see."On the offensive line coming together

"It is nice to get Ephraim (Salaam) back. Anytime a guy comes off a surgery,it takes him a couple of weeks to get back in the swing of things, and yesterdaywas the first time that he got to play full-time. So to get the unit back is alwaysnice. Anytime your running back is productive, your offensive line has got to feelgood. Your fullback has got to feel good. I think that is where we are at rightnow. But we also know that we have to win football games. We can't think abouthow many yards the running back is going to get, how many passing yards weare going to have from the quarterback to the wide receivers, because you nevergoing into the game what they are going to give you. But we have got to beeffective and put some points on the scoreboard and find a way to win againstCleveland."On what does the team do to guard against a letdown

"I think people forget that we did some good things against the Bears. Weheld them to 240 yards-that is pretty impressive for a defensive unit. Offensively,we moved the football but we didn't score in the red zone. We had a couple offield goals (attempts), one missed and one mishandled. But, we probably playedas poorly on special teams as we have the whole year. What you have to do isyou have to play as a team. If one phase goes down or one is a little off, youlose in the National Football League. That is what happened. From a statisticalstandpoint, we did some good things (against the Bears) but that doesn't mat-ter if you lose. What I felt we did in the last few games was we made the bigplays when we had to make them. We played exceptionally well against KansasCity, especially on offense throughout the whole game. Defensively, when wehad to step-up after a tough first half, we did. That is the sign of a good footballteam."

On if he will watch Cleveland tonight on Monday Night Football"What I usually do is listen to it. I will probably look a little bit more at this

game than I normally would because I will be looking at the tapes of the gamesthat they played during the year. I will have one eye kind of on the TV and theother watching film."On who will return kickoffs with Droughns' injury

"We have got nobody left (laughs). We'll put Rod Smith back there. We havegot him doing everything else and we will just give a guy another chance to takea couple more shots at him (joking). We have a number of guys that can do that.But, I'll be surprised if Reuben (Droughns) can't go, just knowing Reuben. Heis that type of guy. But to answer your question, does Deltha (O'Neal) have theability (to return kickoffs) like he did in college? Sure he does. At the pro levelit is a little bit tougher and those guys are a little bit faster. It takes a real mind-set to want to do it."On the play of Droughns Sunday

"He played so well on special teams. The guy is a warrior and just did somany things that you'd be proud of if you looked at the tape. Just one-on-one,beating people and then he did a great job. We put him in motion a lot, where alot of guys would get tired. For a guy that is 220 pounds to isolate on some ofthose linebackers throughout the whole game and to do it consistently is prettyimpressive. They outweigh him by about 20 or 30 pounds. He fought and gaveus everything that he had and made some plays in the passing game. That iswhat you are hoping your players will do; play well when it counts and give youeverything that they have got. That is what they did."On how Droughns' blocking has developed

"He has really always been a good blocker, but anytime you have been a tail-back in college and they switch you over to the fullback position, there is a learn-ing curve there. He has really adjusted well with the added reps that he is get-ting with Mike (Anderson) being gone, and I think that has really helped him. Hehas always been a really physical guy on special teams and has always helpedus there. Getting a chance to get more reps and getting some playing time hasreally helped him."On what he has said to encourage WR Ashley Lelie

"I just told him, 'Hey. Just keep on doing what you are doing in practice.' Isaid, 'You are fighting it a little bit.' He makes that catch every time in practice,but he hasn't been making them in the games and all-of-a-sudden he is one-on-one and a catch that he makes 95 percent of the time, he drops. I just think heis pushing himself a little bit too much and he just has to work through it andhopefully we can get him a ball or two early and he can get some of his confi-dence back. He'll be fine in the long run."

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 96 victories since the start of the 1995 season. Those 96wins 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 56-16(.778), a regular season mark of 89-52 (.631), and an overall mark of 96-54 (.640). His NFL record as a head coach in regular season play is 97-65 (.599) and his overall record is 104-67 (.608).

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 inthe 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.

BROWNS HEAD COACH BUTCH DAVIS

Butch Davis, in his third season with the Cleveland Browns, wasnamed head coach on Jan. 30, 2001. The 51-year-old Davis is the 10thfull-time head coach in franchise history. In 2002 he guided the Brownsto a 9-7 record and their first playoff appearance since 1994. He led hisfirst Browns team to a 7-9 record in 2001, exceeding by two the club'swin total from the previous two seasons combined (5-27). His 30-yearcoaching resume includes eight seasons in the NFL and 16 seasons atthe major college level.

Prior to joining the Browns, Davis served as head coach at theUniversity of Miami (Fla.) from 1995-2000 and capped his overwhelm-ingly successful tenure by leading the Hurricanes to an 11-1 record andNo. 2 consensus national ranking in 2000. Before joining the Hurricanes,Davis coached six seasons (1989-94) with the Dallas Cowboys, includ-ing the final two as the club's defensive coordinator. Davis helped Dallas


post one of the most spectacular turnarounds in sports history as theCowboys went from a 1-15 season in 1989 to consecutive Super Bowlchampionships in 1992 and 1993. He also spent time as an assistant atthe University of Miami (Fla.) and Oklahoma State University.

Davis played defensive end at the University of Arkansas and earnedhis bachelor's degree in biology and life science in 1974. He and hiswife, Tammy, have a son, Andrew, 10.

Denver Broncos Updated Biographies

Updated Dec. 8, 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 saw action in four of the first seven games, starting two (vs. Pit., 10/12 and at Min., 10/19), before being placed on injured reserve Oct. 22 because of a fracture to the little finger on his right (throwing) hand. Before going down, he had completed 33 of 63 passes (52.4%) for 389 yds., with two touchdowns and five interceptions, for a 49.0 passer rating. Beuerlein had also been sacked nine times (-60) and rushed five times for 13 yds. (2.6) with a long of 7. 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 the backup quarterback, but did not play, at Balt. (10/26) and vs. N.E. (11/3), and has been inactive as the third quarterback for the past four games (vs. S.D., 11/16, vs. Chi., 11/23, at Oak., 11/30 and vs. K.C., 12/7).

He has completed 44 of 85 passes (52.4%) for 381 yds. and two touchdowns, with four interceptions. He was inactive as the Broncos’ third quarterback for his first four games with the team, and has been the backup quarterback for each game since Jake Plummer’s return to the starting lineup, Nov. 16 vs. S.D. Kanell saw his first action of the season at Min. (10/17) 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. Despite suffering from the flu two days before the game, and missing the Friday practice, Kanell started at Balt. (10/26)—making his first start since 11/12/00—and completed 16 of 31 passes (51.6%) for 114 yds., with two interceptions. His longest completion went for 19 yds. to Dwayne Carswell, and he was sacked twice (-24) while rushing twice for 9 yds. Kanell made his second consecutive start in Wk. 9 vs. N.E. (11/3) completing 16 of 35 passes (45.7) for 163 yds. and one touchdown with one interception. His touchdown pass to Mike Anderson from 1-yd. out capped a 14-play, 72-yd. drive to give the Broncos the halftime lead, while his only interception came on a desperation heave on the next-to-last play of the game. Against S.D. (11/16), Kanell entered the game in the fourth quarter with the Broncos leading 37-8 and threw an interception on his only pass attempt. Kanell’s 2003 Totals Passing G S Att. Comp. Yds.

He has completed 153 of 249 passes (61.4%) for 1,675 yds. and 14 touchdowns, with five interceptions, for a passer rating of 91.7. He ranks fifth in the AFC (6th NFL) in passer rating and ranks seventh in the AFC in touchdown passes, despite missing four games. He has also rushed 30 times for 160 yds. (5.3) and a touchdown, with a long of 40. Plummer started and made his Broncos debut 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 all 10 of his 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 within one 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 since Wk. 2. Returning to the lineup against S.D. (11/16) after missing four games, Plummer showed no ill effects of the layoff, completing 23 of 34 passes (67.6) for 253 yds. and three touchdowns, while throwing one interception, for a passer rating of 106.6. All three of his touchdowns went to tight end Shannon Sharpe, which made Sharpe the NFL’s all-time leader in touchdown receptions by a tight end, passing Jerry Smith (Wash.), who had 60. He also tossed Rod Smith’s 600th career reception, making Smith the 31st player in NFL history to achieve that number. Plummer’s interception was his first since the season opener at Cin. (9/7), snapping a person-best streak of 139 attempts without. During that span he threw 10 touchdown passes. A week later vs. Chi. (11/23) Plummer completed 19 of 35 passes (54.3) for 176 yds. and a touchdown. His lone scoring toss came on the Broncos’ first offensive series when he found Smith in the end zone for a 1-yd. score. At Oak. (11/30), Plummer completed 11 of 20 passes (55.0) for 105 yds. with a touchdown and an interception on a rain-soaked afternoon. His touchdown came on a 4-yd. pass to Shannon Sharpe in the 2nd qtr. A week later in a key divisional rematch vs. 11-1 K.C. (12/7), Plummer operated the offense with precision and efficiency, completing 20 of 29 (69.0) passes for 238 yds. and a touchdown for a passer rating of 105.2 in a 45-27 Broncos win. His lone touchdown came on a 3-yd. pass to fullback Reuben Droughns in the 3rd qtr. to put Denver ahead to stay, at 24-21. Plummer’s 2003 Totals Passing G S Att. Comp. Yds. Pct. Yd./Att.

RUNNING BACKS 38 • Mike Anderson • RB • 6-0 • 230 • 4 • Utah Regular Season Games Played/Games Started: 2003: 9/3; Career: 56/34 2003 Regular Season: Anderson played in the first nine games as the primary fullback, but missed games 10-13 because of a suspension for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. He returns to the Broncos’ roster this week. Anderson has only registered starts in three of his nine games (vs. Det., 9/28, at Min., 10/19 and vs. N.E., 11/3) because the Broncos have

opened in a two-tight end formation in the other six games. He has rushed 50 times for 198 yds. (4.0) and two touchdowns with a long of 44, while also adding 10 receptions for 42 yds (4.2) with a long of 18 and two touchdowns. 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. 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. (9.3) passing Bobby Humphrey (593) for seventh on Denver’s career rushing attempts list. In a Wk. 7 start at Min. (10/19), he rushed one time for 13 yds. and caught one pass for a 1-yd. touchdown. It was the third time this season Anderson has found the end zone and his first receiving touchdown. In Wk. 9 vs. N.E. (11/3), he registered his second touchdown reception of the year from 1-yd. out on his only reception of the game. Anderson’s 2003 Totals Rushing Receiving G S No. Yds. Avg. LG TD Rec. Yds. Avg.

(9.7) and two touchdowns, while rushing six times for 14 yds. (2.3) with a long of 12. He also ranks third on the team with 14 special teams tackles and has returned 12 kickoffs for 293 yds. (24.4) with a long of 36. In the opener at Cin. (9/7) Droughns saw action in a reserve role and made two tackles on special teams. Droughns replaced Mike Anderson at fullback at S.D. (9/14) when Anderson moved to tailback for the injured Clinton Portis. He caught one pass for 12 yds. and a touchdown on a rollout from Jake Plummer to give the Broncos a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. Droughns also recorded one special teams tackle and returned a kickoff for 36 yds. In the home opener vs. Oak. (9/22), he again replaced Anderson at fullback when Anderson moved to tailback and caught one pass for 9 yds. In Wk. 4 vs. Det. (9/28), Droughns served as the primary fullback as well as playing on special teams and recording one tackle. He saw action on special teams and in the backfield in Wk. 5 at K.C. (10/5) recording his first rush of the season (-1) and registering a special teams tackle. In Wk. 7 at Min. (10/19), Droughns saw considerable time in the backfield, tying a career high with three receptions for a career-high 28 yds. (9.3). On special teams, he made a tackle and returned two kickoffs for 40 yds. (20.0). In Wk. 8 at Balt. (10/26), Droughns took over the kick return duties for the injured Chris Cole and returned a career-high five kicks for a career-high 100 yds. (20.0), with a long of 31. He also made one special teams tackle. Droughns got his first start of the season at fullback against S.D. (11/16) for the suspended Mike Anderson and did not register an offensive statistic, but came up big on special teams with three tackles. He registered another well-rounded game at Oak. (11/30) with a season-high four carries for 16 yds. (4.0), including a long of 12, as well as one reception for 6 yds. He also returned a kickoff for 32 yds. and made a tackle on special teams. Droughns turned in one his finest all-around games of the season vs. K.C. (12/7),



tying a career high with three catches for a career-high 32 yds. (10/7) and a touchdown, while also adding three kick returns for 85 yds. (28.3) and making two special teams stops.

(3.0) with a long of 23 and caught four passes for 16 yds. (4.0) with a long of 6. He has been declared inactive for four games (Wks. 1, 2, 7 and 8) and was active but did not play once (Wk. 6 vs. Pit., 10/12). Griffin saw the first action of his NFL career in the home opener vs. Oak. (9/22) when he rushed seven times for 26 yds. (3.7) after both Clinton Portis and Mike Anderson left the game with injuries. In Wk. 4 vs. Det. (9/28), he saw action on offense, getting nine carries for 12 yds. (1.3) with a long of 8, and two passes for 11 yds. with a long of 6. In Wk. 9 vs. N.E. (11/3), he carried the ball three times for 3 yds. (1.0). Griffin set career highs for carries (15) and rushing yards (55) vs. S.D. (11/16) and caught one pass for -1 yd.

(TD). He also ranks third on the team in receptions with 37 for 308 yds. (7.8) with a long of 72, for 1,760 total yds. from scrimmage (4th AFC/6th NFL). He ranks second in the AFC (4th NFL) in rushing yds.; ranks first in the AFC (2nd NFL) in yds.-per-carry among running backs and is tied for third in the AFC in first downs (76), despite being slowed in Wks. 2-3, and missing Wk. 4 (vs. Det.) because of a bruised sternum. In the past three games Portis his rushed for 553 yds. (165, 170 and 218), the second best three-game rushing stretch in Broncos history (Mike Anderson, 577 yds., gms. 12-14), and has already compiled more rushing yds. in his first two seasons than all but three players in NFL history (Eric Dickerson, 3,913; Edgerrin James, 3,262 and Earl Campbell, 3,147). Portis has nine 100-yd. rushing games this season—including a personal best five in a row (second longest streak in franchise history behind Terrell Davis’ 7 in 1998)—and in two of those has topped the century mark while posting better than a 10-yds.-per-carry avg. (at S.D., 9/14 and vs. Chi., 11/23). To put that in perspective, only once before this season had a Bronco averaged more than 10 yds.-per-carry in a single game (Norris Weese, 12/12/76, at Chi., 12-120). In addition, Portis has rushed for 2,960 yards in his career, already passing Terrell Davis (2,655 in 1995-96) for most rushing yds. by a Bronco in the first two years of a career, with three games left in the season. 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. It

was only the second time in franchise history that a Broncos back has rushed for more than 100 yds. while averaging more than 10 yds. per carry (see above). 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 then 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 then season-best 220 total yds. from scrimmage, at the time 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. and a touchdown on 25 carries (4.7), 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. In Wk. 8 at Balt. (10/26), he tied a career high in receptions with six for 29 yds. (4.8), while rushing 22 times for 86 yds. (3.9). He went over 100 yds. for the fifth time in eight games in Wk. 9 vs. N.E. (11/3), carrying the ball 26 times for 111 yds. (4.3) and a touchdown, while adding four receptions for 20 yds. (5.0). His 100-yd. rushing day was the first allowed by the Patriots defense in 2003. Portis’ touchdown came on a 15-yd burst up the middle on his team’s opening possession. His 26 carries tied a career high that was set in last season’s game against New England. Two weeks later (after a bye), vs. S.D. (11/16), Portis recorded his 14th career 100-yd. rushing game, tallying 106 yds. on 25 carries (4.2) to pass Otis Armstrong for third most by a Bronco. He also passed Bobby Humphrey (2,386) for eighth place on Denver’s all-time rushing list in the game. Versus Chi. (11/23), he ran for a then-season-high and second-best-of-his-career 165 yds. on 14 carries (11.8) to put him over 1,000 yds. for the second year in a row, and caught three passes for 23 yds. (7.7). Portis’ 11.8 yds. per carry avg. broke the 33-year old Broncos record (min. 8 rushes) of 11.0 set by David Rolle (vs. Oak., 10/2/60), and marked the second time on the season Portis rushed for more than 100 yds. while averaging more than 10 yds. per carry (see above). He also tied for the third fewest carries it has taken a Bronco to go over the 100-yd. mark in a game (Derek Loville, 11-103, vs. Jac., 12/27/97, Norris Weese, 12-120, at Chi., 12/12/76 and Floyd Little, 14-124, at N.Y. Jets, 11/5/72). It was Portis’ 15th career 100-yd. game, tying him with Little for second most in franchise history, and put him over the 1,000-yd. mark for the season, joining him with Davis (1995-96) and Humphrey (1989-90) as the only Broncos to top 1,000 in each of their first two seasons. He ran a career-high 34 times for a season-high 170 yds. (5.0) and two touchdowns at Oak. (11/30), while adding a catch for 7 yds. and his first career two-point conversion. Adding his 170 rushing yds. to the previous week’s total (165 yds. vs. Chi.) gave Portis the best two-game output of his career. With his four consecutive 100-yd. games, he is tied for the second longest streak of games over the century mark in Broncos franchise history, a mark held by Terrell Davis (7). He was particularly impressive in the 4th qtr. when he took over the game by rushing for 64 yds. on nine carries (7.1), including 8-62 and the touchdown on the drive that put Denver ahead 22-8, and put the game out of reach. Portis also moved into second place in franchise history with his 16th career 100-yd. games, passing Floyd Little (15), and improved to seventh on the Broncos all-time rushing list, surpassing John Keyworth (2,653, 1974-80). His performance was also good enough to garner the NFL’s FedEx Ground Player of the Week award for the second time this season. Portis turned in arguably his best game as a pro in a key divisional rematch vs. 11-1 K.C. (12/7), rushing 22 times for 218 yds. (9.9) and a franchise-record five touchdowns vs. K.C. (12/7). He also added two catches for 36 yds. (18.0). His five rushing touchdowns tied for second most in NFL history, while his five total touchdowns tied for fourth. He is one of 12 players in NFL history to record five touchdowns in a game. Portis’ 254 total yds. from scrimmage was a career-high, while his 188 rushing yds. in the second half (11 carries; 17.1 avg.) set a franchise record (Davis, 168, vs. Phi., 10/4/98) and was the most in one half in the NFL since Shaun Alexander ran for 192 vs. Oak., on 11/11/01. It was his third 100-yd. half of the season and fifth of his career, bettering his previous high for a half (129 at S.D., 9/7/03). With his five touchdowns he passed three players (Jon Keyworth, 22; Mike Anderson, 23 and Otis Armstrong, 25) for fifth on the Broncos all-time touchdown list, while moving into sixth place on the Broncos all-time rushing yardage list, passing Anderson (2,749). Portis scored on an 11-yd. run in the 1st qtr., a 1-yd. run in the 2nd qtr., a 59-yd. run in the 3rd qtr. and on 28- and 53-yd. runs in the 4th qtr. to seal the game. He rushed for 91 yds. in the 3rd qtr. on six carries and rushed for 98 yds. in the 4th qtr. on five carries.

87 • Ed McCaffrey • WR • 6-5 • 215 • 13 • Stanford Regular Season Games Played/Games Started: 2003: 9/5; Career: 182/107 2003 Regular Season: McCaffrey has played in nine games and started five, catching 13 passes for 117 yards (9.0) with a long of 16. He was inactive for four straight games (at Min., 10/19; at Bal., 10/26; vs. N.E., 11/3 and vs. S.D., 11/16) because of a torn right quadriceps muscle. In the opener at Cin. (9/7), he did not register a reception, which snapped his then-franchise-record streak of 68 consecutive games with a catch. The previous time he failed to catch a pass was Nov. 9, 1997 vs. Car. In Wk. 2 at S.D. (9/14), McCaffrey caught his first pass of the season (5 yds.). In Wk. 3 vs. Oak. (9/22), he caught a season-high four passes for 44 yds. (11.0). He caught one pass for a season-long 16 yds. in Wk. 6 vs. Pit. (10/12). McCaffrey returned to action in a reserve role vs. Chi. (11/23), but did not record a reception. In only his second week back from a nagging quadriceps injury that forced him out of action for four weeks, McCaffrey caught a team-high four passes for 39 yds. (9.8). With the 39 yds. he moved past his position coach Steve Watson (6,112) for fourth on the franchise’s all-time receiving yds. list. McCaffrey returned to the starting lineup vs. K.C.

He has also rushed nine times for 85 yds. (9.4) with a long of 26, and averages 21.2 yds. on six punt returns (127 yds.) with one touchdown, a long of 65 (TD) and eight fair catches. Smith needs 43 yds. from scrimmage this week (rushing/receiving) to become the Broncos’ all-time leader in that category, passing Terrell Davis (8,887). He has 8,845. Smith was inducted Oct. 11, 2003 into the Missouri Southern Athletics Hall of Fame. In the opener at Cin. (9/7) he caught five passes for a team-high 43 yds. tied a career high for 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 then-season-high eight passes 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. His longest catch of the day (38 yds.) came in the fourth quarter, shortly before he caught an 11-yd. toss from Steve Beuerlein for his first touchdown of the season. The score put Denver ahead 14-6 in an eventual 17-14 win. In Wk. 7 at Min. (10/19), Smith caught three passes for 24 yds. (8.0). He caught four passes for 23 yds. (5.8) and rushed twice for 9 yds. (4.5) in Wk. 8 at Balt. (10/26). It was Smith’s 69th consecutive game with a catch, breaking Ed McCaffrey’s franchise-record streak of 68, which was snapped in Wk. 1 at Cin. (9/7). He also took over the punt return duties, returning two punts for 19 yds. (9.5) with a long of 12 yds. Smith led the team with 58 yds. on four catches (14.5) vs. N.E. (11/3). He recorded a season-high 10 catches for 84 yds. (8.4) vs. S.D. (11/16) while becoming the 31st player in NFL history to record 600 or more receptions. He reached the milestone on his second catch of the game, a 7-yd. grab from Plummer at 8:51 of the 1st qtr. Smith also scored his first career touchdown via punt return with a 65 yd. return for a score in the 2nd qtr., punctuating a stellar day with three returns for 93 yds. (31.0). Coupled

with Deltha O’Neal’s 57-yd. return for a touchdown in the Broncos’ previous game (vs. N.E., 11/3/03), it marked the first time in NFL history that a team has had a punt returned for a touchdown in back-to-back games by different players. He led the team with nine receptions for 86 yds. (9.6) and a touchdown vs. Chi. (11/23). The touchdown catch, his second of the season, came on a 1-yd. pass from Plummer in the 1st qtr. Versus K.C. (12/7) Smith tallied seven receptions for 85 yds. (12.1) and rushed twice for 32 yds. (18.0) with a long of 23 yds., to pass Floyd Little (8,741) for second on the Broncos all-time list for total yds. from scrimmage. He also resumed punt return duties for the day, fair catching three kicks in place of Deltha O’Neal who was away from the team to be with his ill father.
