DENVER BRONCOS NEWS RELEASE

Week 17 • Denver (9-6) vs. Indianapolis (12-3) • INVESCO Field at Mile High • 2:15 p.m. (MST)

BRONCOS BEAT TITANS KEEPING PLAYOFF HOPES ALIVE; HOST COLTS IN REGULAR-SEASON FINALE

Behind a potent offensive attack and a fierce defensive effort, Denver pounded Tennessee 37-16 at the Coliseum on Christmas day. Quarterback Jake Plummer completed 21 of 26 passes (80.7%) for 303 yards and two touchdowns, while running back Reuben Droughns scored three touchdowns, earning the Broncos their ninth win of the season. Denver out-gained Tennessee 496 yards to 153, including 193 on the ground and 303 through the air, while holding the Titans to 59 and 94 yards respectively. The Broncos’ defense stepped up, limiting Titans quarterback Billy Volek to just 111 yards passing on eight of 20 attempts, and picking him off twice (Kelly Herndon and D.J. Williams). Droughns led the Broncos on the ground, gaining 91 yards on 22 carries (4.1) and two touchdowns, and added a third on a 23-yard reception from Plummer.

In the regular-season finale, Denver hosts Indianapolis in a game that has huge playoff implications for the Broncos. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:15 p.m. (MST) at INVESCO Field at Mile High. With a win, Denver can earn one of two AFC Wild Card Playoff spots. Because both Baltimore and Jacksonville lost Sunday, with a win, Denver will improve to 10-6. If they finish in a tie with Buffalo (9-6 after a win Sunday), the Broncos hold the tiebreaker over the Bills, having a better conference record. The New York Jets are currently 10-5, and with a win Sunday at St. Louis, will clinch the other Wild Card. A complete playoff scenario breakdown can be found on page 3.

BRONCOS PLAYOFF PICTURE Denver’s playoff future can be summed up in four words: Win

and be in. Following a win at Tennessee and losses by the Jacksonville Jaguars and Baltimore Ravens, allow the Broncos passage into the postseason with nothing more than a win over Indianapolis Sunday.

The Colts enter that game with their January plans set; they are locked into the No. 3 seed of the AFC playoffs. They cannot move up into a first-round bye slot at No. 2 because the second-seeded New England Patriots hold a head-to-head tiebreaker by virtue of a Week 1 win in Foxboro, Mass. The Colts can't move down to No. 4 because they hold a head-to-head tiebreaker over the San Diego Chargers, whom they beat 34-31 on Sunday.

A win over the Colts gives the Broncos the No. 5 or No. 6 seed. The only way the Broncos can gain the No. 5 seed is with a win, a New York Jets loss at St. Louis and a Bills win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Under that scenario, the Bills, Broncos and Jets would be tied at 10-6. But in a wild-card tiebreaker, the first deadlock snapped is between two division teams, so the Jets and Bills would go against each other.

Step 1: Bills and Jets split head-to-head. Step 2: Bills and Jets tied in division record at 3-3. Step 3: Bills would be 9-3 against common opponents; Jets

would be 7-5.


That eliminates the Jets. The Broncos and Bills would both qualify for the playoffs, and would then advance to a tiebreaker for the No. 5 seed. Denver would win that tiebreaker because of a 7-5 conference record; Buffalo would be 6-6.

The conference-record tiebreaker also explains why the Broncos would defeat the Bills in a two-way deadlock at 10-6—a possibility if the Bills, Broncos and Jets all win, giving the Jets sole possession of the No. 5 seed with an 11-5 mark.

If the Broncos win and the Bills lose, the Jets' result would be irrelevant. Denver would be the No. 6 seed whether the Jets win or lose, because if Denver and New York are in a two-way tie at 10-6, Denver loses a common-opponent tiebreaker.

Should Denver lose Sunday, the Broncos could still qualify for the playoffs, but would need help, in the following forms:

... a Bills loss at home to Pittsburgh;

... a Jaguars loss or tie at Oakland;

... a Ravens loss or tie at home to Miami. This would create a two-way tie between Buffalo and Denver

for the sixth seed at 9-7. Denver would win because of a better record against AFC opponents (6-6 to 5-7).

Under every other scenario, the Broncos would lose out in the tiebreaker. A three-way tiebreaker against Buffalo and Baltimore would go against Denver on a strength of victory measurement (collective winning percentage of the teams a club defeats). A three-way deadlock against Buffalo and Jacksonville would go to the Jaguars because of a sweep over the Bills and Broncos. A four-way deadlock with the Bills, Jaguars and Ravens would also go against the Broncos on strength of victory.

BRONCOS/COLTS FESTIVITIES Continuing a Broncos tradition, this final regular season home

game has been designated as Fan Appreciation Day. The Broncos will be giving prizes to fans chosen at random throughout the game in appreciation of their support throughout the season.

During the pregame, representatives from Budweiser, Great Clips and Centrix Financial will appear on the field to present contributions to Denver Broncos Charities from programs tied to game-related events during 2004 Broncos home games. Budweiser pledged $1,000 for each touchdown scored by the Broncos offense and is contributing $20,000. Great Clips is making a contribution of $8,750, based on the number of sacks recorded by the Broncos defense. Centrix Financial is contributing a combined $5,000 to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver, the Ronald McDonald House and Special Olympics based on the results of the Centrix Financial Car Race shown on the scoreboard during the third quarter of each home game.

Please join The Denver Post and the Denver Broncos in congratulating Sale, winner of Colorado's longest running award for schoolboys.

THE LAST TIME (REGULAR SEASON) DENVER 31, at INDIANAPOLIS 17

(RCA DOME, 12/21/03) The Broncos clinched their first playoff birth since 2000 with a

31-17 win against Indianapolis at the RCA Dome in front of 57,149 fans. The Broncos, who bolted to 28 first-half points, dominated the game’s time of possession, aided by rookie running back Quentin Griffin's 136 yards rushing on 22 carries in relief of the injured Clinton Portis. Wide receiver Ashley Lelie added 115 yards receiving and quarterback Jake Plummer threw for 238 yards as the offense racked up 465 total yards, including 227 on the ground.

Denver got off to a frightening start when Plummer threw an interception that was returned 31 yards for a touchdown on the team’s opening drive. On their next drive, however, the Broncos quickly got back on track after Plummer hit Lelie for a 60-yard pass on Denver's first play, and five plays later, scored on a 2-yard Mike Anderson touchdown run to tie the game at seven. After forcing the Colts to go three-and-out, Denver took over on its own 43-yard line and drove 57-yards, scoring on Plummer's 6-yard quarterback draw, and taking a 14-7 lead.

When Indianapolis tied the game at 14 early in the second quarter on a 16-yard run by Edgerrin James, the rest of the half belonged to the Broncos, as Denver added two touchdowns. The first capped a 12-play, 81-yard drive that consumed almost eight minutes and was culminated by a 1-yard Plummer run. The second touchdown—set up by Griffin's 22-yard run down to the Colts’ 16-yard line—came after Plummer floated a 15-yard touchdown pass to Rod Smith, giving Denver a 28-14 lead. The Colts added a 40-yard Mike Vanderjagt field goal late in half, and Denver led 28-17 going into the locker room at the half.

In the second half, Denver’s defense took control and held the Colts without a score. The Broncos held the Colts to just 98 second-half yards, including just 20 on the ground. Denver added a field goal late in the fourth quarter bringing its lead to 31-17.

A huge key for the Broncos was their domination in time of possession. Denver held the ball for a team-record 44:58 minutes and limited the Colts to just 15:02. Denver also doubled Indianapolis in total yards, outgaining the Colts 465 to 183.

The playoff berth—Denver’s first since 2000—was the fifth by the Broncos in Head Coach Mike Shanahan’s tenure.

THE LAST TIME (POSTSEASON) at INDIANAPOLIS 41, DENVER 10

(RCA DOME, 1/4/04) Denver suffered a 41-10 loss to Indianapolis in the AFC Wild

Card Playoff Game in front of 55,331 fans at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis. The Colts jumped out to a 14-3 first-quarter lead and outscored the Broncos 31-3 in the first half.

On the game's opening drive, Peyton Manning led the Colts 70 yards and capped the drive when he found Brandon Stokley for a 31-yard touchdown and an early lead. Denver answered on its first drive but could only manage a 49-yard Jason Elam field goal after penalties caused the drive to stall.

Late in the first quarter, Manning hit Marvin Harrison, who fell near the Colts' 29-yard line, and after not being touched by a Broncos’ defender, got up and ran the ball in for a touchdown, and a 14-3 lead. With Denver unable to sustain a drive after picking up two holding penalties, Indianapolis took possession on its 20-yard-line after a Broncos punt. Manning engineered another successful TD drive (8 plays, 80 yards), culminating in a 23-yard touchdown pass to Harrison. After another Denver punt, Manning hit Stokley in stride and scampered 87 yards for a touchdown, giving the Colts a 28-3 lead with less than two minutes remaining in the half. Denver began to mount a drive, but Plummer’s pass, intended for Rod Smith, was intercepted by David Macklin and returned 21 yards to the Colts’ 42-yard-line. Indianapolis drove down, and Mike Vanderjagt’s 27-yard field goal gave the Colts a 31-3 halftime lead.

On their first drive of the second half, Plummer connected with Rod Smith for a 34-yard reception, moving the Broncos to the Colts' 27-yard line, but Elam's 28-yard field goal attempt was blocked and the Colts took over on their own 36-yard line. Indianapolis was able to add to its lead by capping a 64-yard drive with a 7-yard touchdown pass from Manning to Reggie Wayne. Plummer—when hit from behind by Dwight Freeney—fumbled on Denver’s next possession, and the ball was recovered by Rob Morris on Denver's 20-yard line. Indianapolis settled for a 20-yard field goal and a 41-3 lead. Midway through the fourth quarter—after recovering a Colts’ fumble on its 38-yard-line—Denver finally found the end zone on the game’s final score when Plummer found Rod Smith for a 7-yard touchdown.

WEEK 16: DENVER 37, at TENNESSEE 16 (THE COLISEUM, 12/25/04)

Reuben Droughns scored three touchdowns and defensive end Reggie Hayward registered three sacks to help the Broncos keep their playoff hopes alive with a 37-16 victory at Tennessee before an ESPN national television audience on Christmas night.

Denver dominated offensively with 496 total yards and 26 first downs and the defense held Tennessee to just 153 yards while racking up six sacks and forcing two turnovers.

Droughns got it rolling for the Broncos on their first drive of the game with a 23-yard touchdown off a screen pass from quarterback Jake Plummer. After linebacker D.J. Williams intercepted Titans quarterback Billy Volek on Tennessee's first offensive play, kicker Jason Elam knocked in a 22-yard field goal to put the Broncos ahead 10-0.

Droughns scored his second touchdown of the day on an 8-yard run to cap off a 17-point first quarter for Denver. The Broncos built a 24-10 lead after Plummer connected with wide receiver Rod Smith for a 7-yard touchdown pass to close out an eight-play, 56-yard drive in the second quarter.

Two Titans field goals slashed Denver's lead to 24-16 at the half, but it would be all the points the Broncos would allow the rest of the contest. Elam kicked two more second half field goals for the Broncos and Droughns put the game out of reach in the fourth quarter with a 23-yard touchdown run that was set up by a 45-yard pass from Plummer to Ashley Lelie, who surpassed 1,000 yards receiving for the season on the catch.

Hayward and the Broncos defense swarmed Volek all night long, limiting him to just 111 yards passing after he had thrown for 400-plus yards and four touchdowns in each of his previous two games. Offensively, Plummer posted a 124.8 passer rating by completing 21 of 26 passes for 303 yards and two touchdowns. Droughns finished with 91 yards rushing, while Lelie led all receivers with 88 yards on three catches.

The win, which lifted Denver to 9-6, was the 100th regular-season win with the Broncos for Head Coach Mike Shanahan.

HEAD COACH MIKE SHANAHAN MONDAY QUOTES Injury report following Denver's win at Tennessee

"Really the only injury we had is Garrison Hearst. He broke his (left) hand and he will go on (injured reserve). The injury is four to six weeks, and he's got to have a full cast." On if DL Trevor Pryce will play this weekend vs. Indianapolis

"We'll get a chance to look at him this week and see how much he improved from last week. Last week, watching him, I would not have played him against Tennessee because he didn't practice at the level that he needed to practice at to be functional in a game. So, hopefully this week if he makes as much progress as he did the week before and if he does he'll be ready to play, and if not, he won't." On the Broncos controlling their playoff future

"It's always nice to be in control. I really don't get too uptight about it until it's the last week. You've got to concentrate on your job and you never know what's going to happen, but it's sure nice to know that you're in control." On being concerned with Denver's depth at running back

"We've had guys that have stepped up in a lot of positions. We've had three (running) backs go down and guys have stepped up. We've had three defensive backs go down and guys have stepped up. We really had four backs go down, we've had three defensive linemen go down and guys have stepped up. So, we've been expecting guys to step up and get the job done." On if he expects Indianapolis to play its starters Sunday

"Oh yeah. If you expect anything other than that, you're falling into a trap."


On if the Colts being locked in a playoff seed entering their final game is similar to the situation Denver was in last season

"Everybody looks at it differently. I'm not really sure how Indy perceives their situation. I don't expect to try and figure anything out. All that I know is that I've got to get our football team ready, and we've got to win this football game to get in the playoffs. There will be a lot of speculation about it by everybody in this room, and our players can't fall into a trap by listening to you guys the whole week about how they're not going to play their starters. If they do that, then you get beat. Our football team has to be ready to get their best shot because we know we'll get their best shot, and we'll play it from there." On the play of Denver's defensive line against Tennessee

"Any time you get as many sacks (6) as we did and you hold a team to 150 yards that's been averaging about 450 then you feel pretty good about a lot of guys playing together. You've got to be effective as a whole defense to accomplish what we accomplished against a football team. But when you allow 150 yards for a team, that means everybody's playing pretty good. We didn't play as good as we would've liked to in the first quarter, but we seemed to get our poise and composure and started playing pretty good after that." On if this is DE Reggie Hayward's best season of his career

"Well, he played pretty good the season before. He got an opportunity with Bert Berry gone to show what he can do full time and he's done a good job." His reaction to Reggie White’s passing

"(My reaction was) probably like everybody else's. Just what a great guy he was. He was one of the few guys that if you ever spent any time around, you kind of felt like he was a guy that really cared about people—nothing to do with football. He was one of those guys that would embrace you and talk to you. When I was at San Francisco, we brought him out and thought there was a chance to sign him as a free agent but he wound up going to Green Bay. But I had a chance to spend a couple evenings with him and I was really impressed with the type of person he was and how he handled himself. Obviously, I couldn't believe it when I heard it." On how the Colts rank among the NFL's all-time best offenses

"Obviously, they're right up there with some of the best all-time with the type of stats they've been throwing up. Any time you're rated No. 1 in passing and total offense and point production, you know you're doing a pretty good job. They've got a lot of weapons. They're very well coached and very productive." On Colts quarterback Peyton Manning

"He's very sharp. He knows defenses. He knows blitzes. He has an uncanny feel for when to get rid of the ball and who to throw it to. He's something. He's just a great quarterback. All his accolades are well deserved."

BRONCOS HEAD COACH MIKE SHANAHAN Mike Shanahan in 2004 completes a full decade as head

coach of the Denver Broncos, and that decade of measurement against the game's all-time coaches places him among the pro football elite. After the team’s 23-13 win over San Diego (9/26), he joined the exclusive club of head coaches to post 100 wins in the first 10 seasons with one club.

No head coach in the NFL has won more games than Mike Shanahan's 107 victories since the start of the 1995 season. Those 107 wins include seven straight in the playoffs (he is the only coach to have produced seven playoff wins in two years) during the 1997 and 1998 World Championship seasons, years in which he firmly established himself among the game’s sideline greats. His postseason percentage of .700, on a 7-3 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 pro football history in a two-year period (33 in 1997-98); posted the most wins in pro football history in a three-year period (46 in 1996-98); won the 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 for consecutive wins; been undefeated for three straight regular seasons at home (1996-98), just the second team ever to do so; and posted a 22-2 record in its last 24 games during the back-to-back title years.

He produced consecutive Super Bowl titles, three straight 13-plus win seasons (including postseason), and two AFC West titles from 1996-98. Shanahan led Denver to a 14-2 regular season mark and a 3-0 postseason mark in 1998, taking the Broncos back to the victorious Super Bowl glory they experienced in 1997. In his third season with the Broncos in 1997, Shanahan not only led the Broncos back to the Super Bowl for the first time in eight years, but he directed them to their first ever Super Bowl victory. Only Red Miller (1st year) in 1977 got a Broncos’ team to the Super Bowl faster than Shanahan did.

In his 10th year with Denver, he has fashioned a franchise-record regular season home mark of 61-18 (.772), a regular season mark of 100-59 (.629), and an overall mark of 107-62


(.633). His NFL record as a head coach in regular-season play is 108-71 (.603) and his overall record is 115-74 (.608).

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

In 1998 the defending world champions stormed to their second straight title with an offense that scored 501 points and finished third in the NFL in total yards, while the defense had another spectacular postseason, allowing just 25 points and two touchdowns while sparking a remarkable 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 in NFL history and the second highest total in AFC history for a combined regular and postseason. Of course, in 1998 Shanahan's Broncos topped that mark by producing 596 regular and postseason points. The all-time high of 636 points came from the 1994 World Champion San Francisco 49ers, for whom Shanahan was the offensive coordinator.

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

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

COLTS HEAD COACH TONY DUNGY Tony Dungy became head coach of the Colts on January 22,

2002. He has directed the Colts to 10-6 and 12-4 records, joining Don McCafferty (1970-71) and Ted Marchibroda (1975-76) as the only coaches in club history to produce 10+ victories and playoff berths in the first two seasons with the team.

Dungy held a 54-42 record as head coach with Tampa Bay from 1996-2001, qualifying for the playoffs four times in six seasons. Dungy has directed Indianapolis (2003) and Tampa Bay (1999) to the conference championship game in earning six post-season appearances in eight seasons as a head coach.

In 2003, Dungy helped produce the 13th 10+-victory season in franchise history, and he is one of five Colts head coaches to earn double-digit victory totals (4, Shula; 3, Marchibroda; 2, McCafferty; 2, Jim Mora). Dungy has five career double-digit victory seasons (11-5, 1999; 10-6, 1997; 10-6, 2000 with Tampa Bay; 12-4, 2003; 10-6, 2002 with Colts) and stands as the only NFL head coach to defeat all 32 NFL teams.

Last year under Dungy, the Colts posted only the eighth season in club history without having consecutive losses (1964, 1967, 1968, 1970, 1971, 1976, 1999, 2003). Dungy produced some of the NFL’s stingiest defenses during his years at Tampa

Bay. His units ranked no lower than 11th during his stay and ranked 6th or higher in four of his last five years.

Dungy also served 1981-88 with Pittsburgh, including 1984-88 as defensive coordinator. After serving 1989-91 as DB Coach at Kansas City, Dungy was the defensive coordinator at Minnesota from 1992-95. During his years in Minnesota, the Vikings intercepted an NFL-high 95 passes and made three playoff appearances. The Chiefs made two playoff appearances during Dungy’s tenure. At Pittsburgh in 1984, he became the NFL’s youngest coordinator (age 25).

In 18 years as a head coach or coordinator, Dungy’s troops have ranked in the top 10 in the NFL 11 times. In five seasons as Pittsburgh’s coordinator, the Steelers averaged 24 interceptions and 37 takeaways, while scoring 20 touchdowns. Dungy entered the coaching ranks in 1980 at his alma mater, Minnesota, where he was a quarterback (1973-76). He made the Steelers as a free agent in 1977 and was a member of the Super Bowl XIII title team, then was traded to San Francisco in 1979. Dungy is a native of Jackson, Mich.

PLUMMER’S PASSING FANCY Jake Plummer ranks third in the AFC and fifth in the NFL in

passing yards with 3,843 through 15 games. At an average of 256.2 passing yards per game, Plummer is on pace to finish the season with a career-best 4,099 yards, which would topple John Elway’s franchise record of 4,030.

NO ROOM FOR SACKS Anchored by center Tom Nalen, Denver’s offensive line has

allowed 14 sacks this season and is on pace to only allow 15 total, which would set a franchise record. In addition, the Broncos rank tied for second in the NFL for fewest sacks allowed.

DENVER’S OFFENSE RANKS WITH THE NFL’S BEST Denver’s offense is chewing up major yards this season, and

currently ranks fifth in the NFL in total offense (3rd in the AFC), averaging 391.9 yards a game.

LELIE DIGS THE LONG BALL Third-year wide receiver Ashley Lelie has developed into one

of the top big-play threats in the NFL this season as all six of his touchdown receptions (37, 40, 35, 31, 39 and 33 yds.) have gone for 30 or more yards. He leads the NFL in touchdown catches of 30 or more yards this year and ranks second in franchise history for a single-season total in that category.

Note: A Bronco has caught four touchdown passes of 30 or more yards in a single season four other times in team history: Steve Watson (1984), Al Denson (1969), Bob Scarpitto (1963) and Lionel Taylor (1960).

“WATTS” IT TO YA? Rookie wide receiver Darius Watts is making a splash for

Denver’s offense in his first year out of Marshall. In 15 games this year, he has 31 receptions for 385 yards (12.4) and one touchdown. If he keeps this current pace, Watts will finish the year with 33 catches for 411 yards, which would rank fifth all-time among Broncos rookies. Below is a list of the top-5 rookie receiving output in Broncos history:

BRONCOS’ SACKERS SET RECORD Plenty of Broncos defenders have contributed to the team’s

31.0 sacks in 2004. A franchise-record 16 different Broncos have recorded at least one (1.0) sack this year, marking Denver’s highest total since sacks became an official statistic in 1982.

Note: Denver’s 2000, 1999, 1988 and 1983 defenses each had 13 different players with at least one sack.

IT STARTS WITH CHAMP Four-time Pro Bowl CB Champ Bailey has started every game

of his career since the Redskins drafted him No. 7 overall in the 1999 NFL Draft, a span of 95 consecutive starts that includes this year's totals. He is the only cornerback in the NFL to start every possible regular-season game played during that period.

FOURTH QUARTER DOMINANCE The Broncos have been dominating opponents in the fourth

quarter this season, as evidenced by the following statistical comparisons:

FOURTH SCORE AND FEW POINTS ALLOWED Making a stand in the fourth quarter is often times the

difference between winning and losing, and Denver’s defense allows very few points in the fourth quarter (48), which is first in the NFL. Below is a list of the teams who have allowed the fewest fourth-quarter points:

FEWEST POINTS ALLOWED IN THE FOURTH QUARTER, NFL Team 4th-Q Pts. Allowed Avg. 1. Denver 48 3.2 2. Pittsburgh 57 3.8 3. New England 66 4.4 Washington 66 4.4 5. Tampa Bay 70 4.7

FEW AND “FOURTH” BETWEEN In addition to allowing very few points in the fourth quarter,

Denver’s defense allows very few yards in the final stanza. The Broncos have only allowed 908 yards in the fourth quarter in 15 games, for a 60.5 average, which ranks second in the NFL.

FEWEST YARDS ALLOWED IN THE FOURTH QUARTER, NFL 4th Quarter Team Yards Allowed Avg. 1. Pittsburgh 866 57.7 2. Denver 908 60.5 3. Buffalo 926 61.7 4. Cleveland 927 61.8 5. San Francisco 1,059 70.6

“FIRST” AND FOREMOST Denver’s defense this season has had a knack for getting off

the field. The Broncos, after Week 16, rank first in the NFL for fewest 1st downs allowed (15.1).

THE BEST OF THE BEST Starting weakside linebacker D.J. Williams, the Broncos’

leading tackler, has done more than his share during his rookie season to maintain the University of Miami’s rich tradition of producing elite NFL linebackers. His 109 tackles (79 solo) put the former Hurricane on pace to rival the rookie tackle totals of other accomplished linebackers from Miami, whose seven linebackers on opening-day rosters this year tied for the most in the NFL.

Year Former Univ. of Miami Rookie Linebacker 1996 Ray Lewis, Baltimore 142 tackles (104 solo) 2004 D.J. Williams, Denver 109 tackles (79 solo)* 1993 Darrin Smith, Dallas 93 tackles (49 solo) 2001 Dan Morgan, Carolina 75 tackles (47 solo) 2000 Nate Webster, Tampa Bay 32 tackles (18 solo) 1993 Jessie Armstead, NY Giants 31 tackles (28 solo) 1993 Mike Barrow, Houston 26 tackles (21 solo)

* – Williams is on pace to finish the season with 116 tackles, a rookie total that would rank behind only Ray Lewis among former Miami linebackers.

HEAD OF THE CLASS Williams is on pace to record 116 tackles this year, and

currently leads the team with 109 (79 solo). If his tackle total remains the highest on the team, it would make him only the second rookie ever to lead the Broncos and mark the first time in 32 years that such a feat has occurred. The last time a rookie led Denver was in 1972 when linebacker Tom Graham, a fourth-round draft choice from Oregon, tied for a team-high 91 tackles.

ALL IN THE FAMILY Scattered throughout the Broncos' coaching staff are five

coaches who also have worn the orange and blue as players, marking the highest total among 2004 NFL staffs that include former players coaching the franchise for which they played at least one regular-season game. Offensive Coordinator Gary Kubiak (quarterback, 1983-'91), Offensive Line Coach Rick Dennison (inside linebacker, 1982-'90), Wide Receivers Coach Steve Watson (wide receiver, 1979-'87), Special Teams Coach Ronnie Bradford (defensive back, 1993-'95) and Defensive Backs Coach Jimmy Spencer (cornerback, 2000-'03) all have successfully transferred what they learned playing for the Broncos to members of this year's squad.

COACHES WHO PLAYED AT LEAST ONE REGULAR-SEASON GAME FOR THAT FRANCHISE

DENVER BRONCOS .......................................................... 5 (Kubiak, Dennison, Watson, Bradford and Spencer)

Miami Dolphins ..................................................................................... 2 (Bernie Parmalee - TE coach; Jeff Dellenbach - fellowship coach)

Minnesota Vikings................................................................................. 2 (Mike Tice - head coach; Pete Bercich - LB coach)

Tennessee Titans................................................................................... 2 (Chuck Cecil - safeties/nickelbacks; Mike Munchak - OL coach)

Kansas City Chiefs................................................................................. 2 (Irv Eatman - asst. OL coach; James Saxon - RB coach)

Oakland Raiders .................................................................................... 2 (Fred Biletnikoff - WR coach; Willie Brown - DB assistant)

Note: 13 other teams have one coach on their staffs who played at least on regular-season game for that franchise.

HOLDING THE OPPONENTS AT BAY The Broncos have held nine of their 14 opponents under 20

points this season. Under Head Coach Shanahan, they are 68-15 (.819) when they hold their opponents under 20 points. In addition, the club is 44-3 (.936) when holding the opponent to 15 points or less, including six of 10 teams this year. Also, in that time the Broncos have only lost once when holding the opponent to 10 points or less. Below is a list of the 31 games in which Denver’s defense has held the opponent to 10 points or under since 1995, (20-0 home and 10-1 on the road).

CENTURY MARK AND BEYOND The Denver Broncos have had one of the most potent rushing

attacks in the NFL since Head Coach Mike Shanahan took over in 1995. In addition to having five different running backs rush for over 1,000 yards in a season (Terrell Davis, Olandis Gary, Mike Anderson, Clinton Portis and Reuben Droughns, who eclipsed the 1,000 yard mark in Week 13 vs. Miami), the Broncos are tops in the NFL with most individual 100-yard games with 75, including eight this season (six by Reuben Droughns, and one each by Quentin Griffin and Tatum Bell). Below is a list of the NFL’s top teams in 100-yard performers since 1995.


MOST INDIVIDUAL 100-YARD GAMES SINCE 1995, NFL 100-yd. Team Games 1. Denver 75 2. Pittsburgh 64 3. Indianapolis 55 4. Dallas 53 5. Detroit 49

THE DROUGHNS FILE In Denver’s 20-17 win over Miami, Reuben Droughns rushed

for 62 yards on 18 carries, and eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark. On the season, he has 1,164 yards rushing on 260 carries (4.5) and six touchdowns. He is the fifth different running back under Head Coach Mike Shanahan to go over 1,000 yards in a season (Terrell Davis, Olandis Gary, Mike Anderson and Clinton Portis).

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER In his fifth NFL season, Reuben Droughns eclipsed the 1,000-

yard mark for the first time in his Broncos career Dec. 12 vs. Miami (currently sits with 1,164 yards on 260 carries). Along with former Denver running back Floyd Little, who also was a first-time 1,000-yard rusher in his fifth NFL season, that is the latest in a career that a Bronco has reached 1,000 yards for the first time.

HOLD THE STUFFING A very solid offensive line and a powerful running back is a

great combination for gaining positive yardage in the run game. Running back Reuben Droughns leads the NFL in terms of not getting stuffed behind the line of scrimmage for negative yards. In 260 attempts this season, Droughns has only been tackled for negative yards 18 times (31 yards), and leads the NFL at 6.9 percent (minimum of 175 carries). Below is a list of the NFL’s top-5 backs in “stuff” percentage:

their last 43 when a running back rushes for 100 yards or more.

Since the league’s current free-agent system began in 1993, the Broncos have been extremely successful. In fact, the team has the AFC’s best record, 116-75 (.607), and ranks second overall. Below are the NFL’s top teams since free agency began:

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE When John Elway was ruling the roost in Denver, comebacks

were often times the only thing people talked about. But since Head Coach Mike Shanahan took over the reigns in 1995, the Broncos have learned to not allow the opponents to come back on them. In Shanahan’s tenure, the Broncos are 84-12 (.875) in games in which they led after three quarters, including 5-0 in ‘04.

Denver continued to improve its streak of 74 straight weeks with a .500 or better record, the longest current streak in the NFL.

HOME, SWEET HOME The Broncos have amassed the NFL's best home record since

1974 in the regular season and postseason. Denver also has the most regular season home victories in the league since 1974, and the most victories, regular and postseason, since 1974:

Team Regular Season Postseason Total Pct. 1. Denver 178-61-1 (.744) 11-2 (.846) 189-63-1 .749 2. Pittsburgh 170-69-1 (.710) 14-5 (.700) 184-74-1 .712 3.

SHANAHAN TOPS THE CHART Mike Shanahan's 10-year regular season record is currently

first among active coaches in the league since 1995:

TOP RECORDS AMONG ACTIVE COACHES IN NFL, 1995-03 Head Coach, Team (s) Record Pct. 1. Mike Shanahan, Denver 100-59 .629 2. Bill Cowher, Pittsburgh 98-60-1 .619 3. Mike Holmgren, Green Bay/Seattle 97-62 .610 4. Jeff Fisher, Tennessee 92-67 .579

DENVER STRIKES FAST UNDER SHANAHAN Since Mike Shanahan became Denver’s head coach prior to

the start of the 1995 season, the Broncos have not only scored the most points in the first quarter in the NFL, but they also have the biggest point-differential in the first quarter:

BEST FIRST-QUARTER POINT-DIFFERENTIAL SINCE 1995 Team Differential Points For Points Against 1. Denver +444 970 526 2. Tennessee +228 818 590 3. Green Bay +163 709 546

In addition, in Head Coach Mike Shanahan’s career, he is first in NFL history in first-quarter leads. In Shanahan’s 179 games coached, he has enjoyed a lead at the end of the first quarter 90 times (.503), which ranks first:

1st-Qtr. Games Leads Pct. 1. Mike Shanahan 179 90 50.3 2. Greasy Neal 101 50 49.5 3. Jeff Fisher 165 81 49.1

“30” IS THE MAGIC NUMBER, YEAH IT IS Since Head Coach Mike Shanahan took over the Broncos'

coaching reins in 1995, Denver has scored 30 or more points 38 times (twice in postseason) at home, and 20 or more points 71 times (4 times in playoff action) at home in 82 regular season and four playoff games. Including road games, they have scored 30 or more points 65 times (including 3 times in the playoffs) and 20 or more points 124 times in the 154 regular season games and nine postseason games under him. As noted above, Denver's record in the 65 games in which it has scored 30 or more points under Shanahan is an amazing 63-2 (which includes 3-0 in playoff competition), including a 38-0 mark (which includes a 2-0 playoff record) at Mile High Stadium and INVESCO Field at Mile High.

ELAM MOVED OVER 1,400 CAREER POINTS In 187 career games, Jason Elam has scored 1,427 career

points—and two weeks ago with his five points at San Diego (12/5)—and has eclipsed the 1,400-point plateau faster than any player in NFL history. Nick Lowery held the NFL record, reaching the mark in 203 career games.

Nineteen are “pure” comeback victories, the highest total of any QB since 1995. • Including this season’s totals, Plummer is 18-8 (69.2%) as a Broncos starter (2003-present) during the regular season, marking the fourth-highest winning percentage of any NFL quarterback during that period (Tom Brady, 27-4, 87.1%, Donovan McNabb, 25-5, 83.3% and Peyton Manning, 24-7, 77.4%). • Plummer was voted an offensive co-captain by his teammates, joining receiver Rod Smith in that role. 2004 Regular Season: Plummer’s creativity behind center has resulted in several miraculous performances this season as he has completed 286-of-491 passes (58.2%) for 3,843 yards with 25 touchdowns and 20 interceptions in starting all 15 games. An offensive co-captain, Plummer ranks third in the AFC (5th in NFL) in passing yards and ranks third in the AFC (T-7th in NFL) in completions. His touchdown total, a single-season career high, ranks fifth in the AFC (9th in NFL). Plummer completed his first eight passes at Tenn. (12/25) and ended the first quarter with a perfect 158.3 passer rating on the way to completing 21-of-26 passes (80.1%) for 303 yards, two touchdowns and one interception for a final 124.8 rating. His stellar play against the Titans moved the quarterback into fifth place on Denver’s all-time single-season touchdown list (ahead of Frank Tripucka – 24 in 1960) and into fourth place on the Broncos’ all-time single-season passing yards list (ahead of John Elway – 3,635 in 1997). At K.C. (12/19), Plummer completed 23-of-41 passes (56.1%) for 292 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions while also recording a season-best 22-yard run on a scramble. His touchdown pass, a 22-yarder to Rod Smith, in Kansas City moved him ahead of John Elway (22 in 1985 and 1998) into sixth place on the Broncos’ all-time single-season touchdown list. He did not throw a touchdown pass and had two interceptions vs. Mia. (12/12), but the quarterback made several key throws in a 16-of-30 (53.3%), 219-yard performance. He completed three passes for 59 yards to three different Broncos (Darius Watts, Ashley Lelie and Rod Smith) in the second quarter to put Denver in position for its second touchdown against the Dolphins in a drive that covered 70 yards in only four plays. Against a stingy Chargers defense at S.D. (12/5), Plummer threw for 278 yards on 16-of-40 (40.0%) passing with four interceptions. He completed three passes of 39 or more yards in

San Diego, including a game-long 45-yard pass to Rod Smith on a second-half scoring drive. In snowy, frigid conditions vs. Oak. (11/28), he completed a career-long 85-yard touchdown pass, the eighth-longest passing play in team history, to Rod Smith in the second quarter and finished the game 14-of-23 (60.9%) for 245 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Plummer also connected with Ashley Lelie on a 57-yard pass late against the Raiders, which moved Denver to the Oakland 3-yard line and set up a touchdown run on the next play. He was extremely efficient in Denver’s game at N.O. (11/21) and finished the day throwing for two touchdown passes, which moved him ahead of Steve Ramsey for seventh place on the Broncos’ all-time touchdown passes list (35), and 224 yards on 19-of-29 (65.5%) passing. His play resulted in a 111.9 passer rating, which was his second consecutive game with a passer rating more than 100.0, and a Denver score on its first four possessions to give it a 20-0 first-quarter lead. Against the Saints, he tossed back-to-back passes of 30 or more yards (33 and 37 yds.) on a first-quarter drive to Ashley Lelie with the latter strike a touchdown pass. He concluded Denver’s scoring when he connected with fullback Kyle Johnson in stride for a 19-yard score that earned him his seventh multiple-touchdown game this season. Plummer became only the second quarterback in Broncos history (Craig Morton in 1981) to throw eight touchdowns in a two-game span with stellar outings vs. Hou. (11/7) and vs. Atl. (10/31). In throwing for four touchdowns and 234 yards in a 16-of-24 performance vs. Hou. (11/7), Plummer set a single-game career best with a 137.8 passer rating. He connected with four different Denver players on his scoring passes, including three in the first half to mark the fourth time in his career he accomplished that feat in a half. Against the Texans, he threw a second-quarter strike to Rod Smith that moved the receiver into first place all-time in touchdowns by a Bronco and also connected with Smith on a 9-yard pass in the second quarter to give Smith more receptions than any other player in franchise history. He posted the ninth-highest single-game yardage mark in NFL history and set a franchise record with 499 passing yards on 31-of-55 passing (56.3%) with four touchdowns and three interceptions vs. Atl. (10/31). His four touchdowns against the Falcons tied a career high and were spread out to four different receivers on scoring drives that were all 69 yards or longer, including an 80-yard TD strike to Rod Smith in the first quarter that tied for the longest completion of his career (he also threw an 80-yd. TD pass at St. Louis 12/15/02). Additionally, he moved ahead of Steve DeBerg for eighth place on the Broncos’ all-time passing yards list against the Falcons. In Denver’s lone Monday night appearance and his 100th-career start at Cin. (10/25), Plummer completed 23-of-40 passes for 221 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. He moved into ninth place on the Broncos’ all-time passing yardage list (ahead of Micky Slaughter) and passed Steve DeBerg for eighth place on the franchise’s all-time completions list against the Bengals. He rolled to his right and found Rod Smith for a 3-yard score in the second quarter, marking the Broncos’ only touchdown of the game in Cincinnati. He threw three touchdowns, all of which occurred in the first half, at Oak. (10/17) in passing for 190 yards on 11-of-20 passing with one interception to lead the Broncos’ offense to 31 unanswered points. Plummer led the Broncos to a 28-point win against the Raiders, the largest margin of victory in a road game against the Raiders in franchise history. His performance at Oakland was his seventh career game with three or more touchdowns, and it marked the third contest in which he threw for three scores in a half. Plummer connected on two of his scoring passes to tight ends while also finding wide receiver Ashley Lelie for a 31-yard score. After throwing a pair of third-quarter interceptions vs. Car. (10/10), Plummer bounced back by directing the Broncos to his 19th-career comeback victory against the Panthers when his 39-yard touchdown pass in the corner of the end zone to Ashley Lelie capped off an 87-yard drive early in the final period. His comeback against the Panthers marked his 25th game-winning or game-tying scoring drive in the fourth quarter or overtime. He finished the game against the Panthers with 226 yards on 17-of-29 passing with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He guided Denver to a win at T.B. (10/3) with 138 yards on 13-of-30 passing with one touchdown and no interceptions. Plummer fooled the Buccaneers’ defense on a bootleg before throwing a 5-yard score for Denver’s lone touchdown. He efficiently managed Denver’s offense in the fourth quarter against the Buccaneers as the Broncos held onto the ball for 13:20 in the final period, ensuring Plummer of his 24th game-winning or game-tying scoring drive in the fourth quarter or overtime. Plummer threw for a season-high 294 yards and two touchdowns on 25-of-36 passing (69.4%) vs. S.D. (9/26). His 294 passing yards were the most he’s had in a game since Nov. 18, 2001, vs. Detroit. He threw a clutch 33-yard touchdown strike to wide receiver Ashley Lelie on fourth-and-9 in the third quarter with the Chargers trailing by only 3. In the second quarter against the Chargers, he moved into 10th place on the Broncos’ all-time passing yards list, ahead of John McCormick. He threw for a then-season-high 250 yards on 23-of-39 passing with no touchdowns or interceptions at Jac. (9/19) while also scrambling for 24 yards on the ground. He hit wide receiver Ashley Lelie in stride for a 39-yard gain on the Broncos’ 10-play, 76-yard drive at the end of the second quarter that set up Denver’s second field goal of the game. Plummer directed the Broncos to a win in their season opener vs. K.C. (9/12) by completing 18-of-29 passes (with completions to eight different receivers) for a game-high 230 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Plummer, who completed a 58-yard pass against the Chiefs and had a career-high eight rushes, also led a pivotal 13-play, 87-yard touchdown drive late in the game that ate up 7:10 and resulted in a 2-yard touchdown pass to seal Denver’s win. The win was his 23rd career game-winning or game-tying fourth-quarter scoring drive in the fourth quarter or overtime

RUNNING BACKS 26 • Tatum Bell • RB • 5-11 • 213 • R • Oklahoma State Regular Season Games Played/Games Started: 2004: 13/0; Career: 13/0 • Bell leads all AFC rookies (5th among NFL rookies) in rushing yards with 305. • With 123 rushing yards vs. Mia. (12/12), Bell joined teammates Reuben Droughns and Quentin Griffin as the third Bronco to post at least one 100-yard game this year, marking only the second time in team history that such a feat has occurred (1995 – Terrell Davis, Glyn Milburn and Aaron Craver). • Bell scored his first career touchdown on a 16-yard run at S.D. (12/5). • He made a 58-yard reception on a screen pass, the longest catch of his career, at K.C. (12/19). 2004 Regular Season: Bell has displayed quickness and potential during his rookie season, and the promising running back has rushed 59 times for 305 yards (5.2 avg.) with three touchdowns and caught three passes for 64 yards (21.3 avg.) in 13 games. Bell joined teammates Reuben Droughns and Quentin Griffin as the third Bronco this season to post at least one 100-yard game (vs. Mia. 12/12), marking only the second time in franchise history that such a feat has occurred. Bell leads all AFC rookies (5th among NFL rookies) in rushing yards this year. He also recently has begun to show his ability on special teams, making four tackles on coverage units to tie for 10th on the Broncos in that category. Bell recorded 44 yards on 12 carries (3.7 avg.) at Tenn. (12/25) while also catching a 12-yard pass. Despite being hampered by a severe left shoulder injury at K.C. (12/19) that was suffered a week earlier, Bell rushed nine times for 50 yards (5.6 avg.) and made a 58-yard reception out of a short screen pass. He broke away from Chiefs defenders on the run but had the ball knocked out of his hands on the Chiefs’ 5-yard line for a touchback. Bell posted the

first 100-yard game of his career vs. Mia. (12/12) with 123 yards on 17 carries (7.2 avg.) with two touchdowns. He exploded for 81 yards in the first half alone against the Dolphins, including slashing touchdown runs of seven and 11 yards, before he was removed from the game late in the third quarter with a sprained left shoulder. Bell had a career-long 29-yard run around the left side early in the third quarter against the Dolphins that set up a 20-yard field goal. He scored his first career touchdown on a 16-yard run at S.D. (12/5) and totaled a career-best 31 yards on seven carries (4.4 avg.) during a game in which he saw the most extensive action of his rookie season. Bell played on special teams only vs. Oak. (11/28). He made a team-high three special teams tackles at N.O. (11/21) in a game that did not see him record a rushing statistic. He chased down Saints kick returner Michael Lewis on a second-quarter return during which Lewis used his elusiveness to gain 26 yards before Bell corralled him. Bell competed on special teams vs. Hou. (11/7). He was inactive for Denver’s game vs. Atl. (10/31) with a hamstring injury suffered a week earlier. While he did not record a rush at Cin. (10/25) on Monday Night Football, the rookie contributed on special teams against the Bengals. Bell saw the most action he’s seen all year at Oak. (10/17) by rushing six times for 25 yards (4.2 avg.). He was a factor on special teams against the Raiders, making the first tackle of his career on that unit. All of his yards against the Raiders came in relief of starter Reuben Droughns in the fourth quarter, including a 13-yard scamper around the left side on third-and-5. In Denver’s comeback win vs. Car. (10/10), both of Bell’s carries came in the first quarter to give the back a total of five yards for the game. At T.B. (10/3), Bell returned from the rib injury that kept him out of Denver’s previous game to play on special teams only against the Buccaneers. He was inactive vs. S.D. (9/26) with a rib injury that he suffered in practice leading up to the game. In Denver’s game at Jac. (9/19), Bell backed up Quentin Griffin and rushed four times for 16 yards (4.0 avg.) with three of his four runs coming in the first quarter. Bell primarily saw action on special teams in his NFL debut vs. K.C. (9/12) but did rush on consecutive plays on a fourth-quarter drive to total 11 yards.

2004 Regular Season: Droughns’ bruising running style makes him difficult to tackle after initial contact, and he has rushed for more than 100 yards in six of Denver’s last 11 games as its featured running back after beginning the season as a fullback. In 15 games (14 starts), Droughns leads the Broncos in rushing with 1,164 yards on 260 carries (4.5 avg.) with six touchdowns while catching 32 passes for 241 yards (7.5 avg.) with two touchdowns. He is the fifth different Bronco in the last 10 years to rush for more than 1,000 yards and posted the franchise’s 16th 1,000-yard season this year. Additionally, the fifth-year back tied Floyd Little (1971) for the latest in a career that a Bronco has posted his first 1,000-yard season. While only starting 11 games at running back, he ranks seventh in the AFC (10th in NFL) in rushing yards. He has accounted for a team-high 80 first downs (66 rushing, 14 receiving) to tie for fourth in the AFC (T-5th in NFL). Droughns was Denver’s primary kick returner for its first five games and has a 24.6 avg. on 14 returns for 344 yards. His production on special teams earned him AFC Special Teams Player of the Month honors for September to mark the first time a Broncos kick return garnered that award. Droughns’ success on special teams extends to punt and kick coverage, where he has made four tackles to tie for 10th on the team. He posted a career-high high three touchdowns (2 rushing, 1 receiving) at Tenn. (12/25) along with 91 rushing yards on 22 carries (4.1 avg.). His touchdown catch against the Titans went for a career long 23 yards, and the back also picked up six rushing first downs. In a start at K.C. (12/19), Droughns saw most of his action in the second half and finished the game with four rushes for 27 yards (6.8 avg.), including back-to-back fourth-quarter runs of 14 and 16 yards. He also caught two passes for 14 yards (7.0 avg.) against the Chiefs. He posted the franchise’s 16th 1,000-yard season and the first of his career after his 18-carry, 62-yard (3.4 avg.) day vs. Mia. (12/12). Droughns, who entered the Dolphins game 16 yards shy of 1,000, primarily was used in a reserve roll behind Tatum Bell but had a key 21-yard run in the fourth quarter that set up a 50-yard field goal that proved to be the game winner. He also returned a kick (17 yds.) for the first time in four weeks against Miami. Droughns had a quiet day at S.D. (12/5), rushing only 14 times (his lowest number of attempts in eight starts at running back this year) for 38 yards (2.7 avg.), including a 4-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. In snowy, frigid conditions vs. Oak. (11/28), Droughns eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the sixth time in his last seven games with 102 yards on 28 carries (3.6 avg.) with a touchdown, a 3-yard score early in the fourth quarter. He recorded the longest run of his career on the Broncos’ first play from scrimmage at N.O. (11/21) when he took off around the left side on a 51-yard touchdown run as part of the 166 yards he gained on 28 carries (5.9 avg.). Droughns, who also caught two passes for 25 yards against the Saints (12.5 avg.), was difficult to contain in the first half as he gained 106 yards (10.6 avg.) by halftime. He put up solid numbers vs. Hou. (11/7) by picking up 120 yards on 29 carries (4.1 avg.). Against the Texans, he gained nearly 40 yards each quarter in one of the most consistent performances of his career. While having a quiet day rushing the ball vs. Atl. (10/31) in only gaining 49 yards on 15 carries (3.3 avg.), Droughns posted a career-high six receptions and 63 yards receiving (10.5 avg.) against the Falcons. He eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the third consecutive game at Cin. (10/25) on Monday Night Football, rushing for 110 yards on 24 carries (4.6 avg.). He also tied a career high with four receptions for 20 yards (5.0 avg.) against the Bengals. Droughns rushed for 49 yards in the second quarter and gained five yards or more on 10 of his final 12 rushes before halftime against the Bengals. He set a franchise record for most carries in a non-overtime game at Oak. (10/17) with 38 rushes for 176 yards (4.6 avg.) with one touchdown to earn FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week honors. His 38 carries in a game are the most by a running back in the NFL this season. Droughns had 82 yards in the second quarter against the Raiders, including four runs of more than 10 yards, to help him record the first 100-yard half of his career (103 total yards). With regular starter Quentin Griffin inactive vs. Car. (10/10) with an ankle injury, Droughns took advantage of his first start at tailback as a Bronco by rushing for 193 yards on 30 carries (6.4 avg.) to mark the highest rushing total by a Denver player in his first start at running back and the ninth-highest rushing total by a Broncos back in the regular season (10th in any game). He registered most of his yards in bruising fashion, and it took several Panthers to bring him down on a 15-yard third-down run in the second quarter that set up his 5-yard receiving touchdown, which was his first score this season. Droughns also caught a career-high four passes for 18 yards while totaling 10 of the Broncos’ 23 first downs (8 rushing, 2 receiving) against the Panthers. In addition to returning two kicks for 45 yards (22.5 avg.) at T.B. (10/3), he was used in short-yardage situations as well as on one-back sets and gained a season-high 20 yards on eight carries (2.5 avg.). He pulled Buccaneers defensive back Dwight Smith with him to pick up a tough third-and-1 with Denver at its 19-yard line late in a close game. Droughns gained a career-high 137 yards on four returns (34.3 avg.) vs. S.D. (9/26). All four of his returns that day went for 20 or more yards, including a 48-yarder. He also had a team-high three special teams tackles against San Diego. He returned two kicks for 49 yards (24.5 avg.) at Jac. (9/19) while catching his first pass of the year. His 2-yard reception converted a crucial third-and-1 in the third quarter with Denver trailing by 1. In the Broncos’ season opener vs. K.C. (9/12), Droughns started at fullback, clearing the way for Quentin Griffin’s franchise opening-day record 156 yards, and he was a major contributor on special teams despite battling leg cramps. He returned two kicks for 58 yards (29.0 avg.) to lead all NFL Wk. 1 players in return yardage. Droughns began Denver’s first possession of the season with a 32-yard return.

(10/25). • He underwent surgery Nov. 9 to repair his damaged right knee. • A multi-dimensional threat, Griffin had 379 yards from scrimmage (311 rushing, 68 receiving) in six games. • His 156-yard rushing effort vs. K.C. (9/12) is the 17th-highest single-game rushing total gained this season. • Griffin set a franchise record for most rushing yards in a season-opener with a career and game-high 156 yards on 23 carries vs. K.C. (9/12). • He served as the Broncos’ primary kick returner for two games, returning four kicks for 52 yards (13.0 avg.). 2004 Regular Season: Griffin showed flashes of big-play ability in six games (four starts) at running back before he was placed on injured reserve Oct. 27 with a torn ACL in his right knee, which was repaired Nov. 9. Before the injury, he collected 311 yards on 85 carries (3.7 avg.) with two touchdowns while catching 10 passes for 68 yards (6.8 avg.) with a score. The elusive Griffin was used as the Broncos’ primary kick returner for two games and gained 52 yards returning four kicks (13.0 avg.) He suffered a torn ACL in his right knee returning a kick on the opening kickoff of the second half at Cin. (10/25) on Monday Night Football and did not return. Although he did not record a rush against Cincinnati, Griffin returned three kickoffs for 33 yards (11.0 avg.), including a 21-yard return in the second quarter that set up Denver’s lone


touchdown drive, before injuring his knee. Back in the lineup after missing the previous week with an ankle injury, Griffin totaled four carries for 16 yards (4.0 avg.) at Oak. (10/17). He returned the first kickoff of his career against the Raiders, taking a first-quarter kick 19 yards to put the Broncos in excellent field position to begin their first touchdown drive of the game. He was inactive vs. Car. (10/10) with an ankle injury. The second-year back picked up 66 yards on 21 carries (3.1 avg.) at T.B. (10/3), including 44 fourth-quarter yards, while catching a 15-yard pass. Griffin broke free for a 12-yard run in the fourth quarter that put Denver in position for the field goal that proved to be the game winner. He struggled with the Chargers’ 3-4 defense vs. S.D. (9/26) and was held to a season-low seven yards on 12 carries (0.6 avg). One of his three catches against the Chargers went for 22 yards on a swing pass and moved Denver into scoring range early in the second quarter, setting up a field goal. He also had a key block on a Chargers blitz in the third quarter, clearing the way for a 16-yard Jake Plummer completion on a touchdown drive. At Jac. (9/19), the Jaguars’ stingy run defense limited Griffin to 66 yards rushing on 25 carries (2.6 avg.), but his five catches for 29 yards (5.8 avg.) were a career high and more than any Jaguars receiver totaled. He was unable to secure Jake Plummer’s handoff with the Broncos in position for a game-winning field goal with less than a minute in the game, allowing the Jaguars to end Denver’s comeback attempt. Griffin enjoyed a record-setting day vs. K.C. (9/12) as he set a franchise record for most rushing yards in a season opener with a career and game-high 156 yards on 23 carries (6.8 avg.) and scored the first three touchdowns (two rush, one reception) of his career. His opening-weekend numbers ranked at the top of several offensive categories, including rushing yards (156 – second in NFL), first downs (eight – tied for third in the league), scoring (18 points – tied for first in the league) and total yards from scrimmage (157 – tied for third in the AFC). The 156 yards he totaled on the ground are the 10th-highest single-game rushing total gained this season. Griffin scored on 25 and 47-yard touchdown runs against the Chiefs, with the latter run coming in the third quarter with the score tied at 17, and he added a 1-yard touchdown catch for the first scoring reception of his career.

When several Broncos running backs went down with injuries at Tenn. (12/25), the veteran filled in with four rushes for 22 yards (5.5 avg.) before fracturing his left hand, an injury that is expected to keep him out for an extended period. Hearst had his busiest game of the year at K.C. (12/19), recording five rushes for 26 yards (5.2 avg.) and his first touchdown of the year along with a 15-yard reception. All of Hearst’s carries against the Chiefs came in the fourth quarter, including a 4-yard touchdown run with less than two minutes remaining. He was inactive vs. Mia. (12/12). Hearst did not play at S.D. (12/5). He ran once for two yards vs. Oak. (11/28), giving starter Reuben Droughns a quick rest in the second quarter. When the Broncos kneeled on the ball to run out the clock in a win at N.O. (11/21), Hearst recorded his only snaps that day on offense. He saw his most extensive action of the season vs. Hou. (11/7), rushing five times for 13 yards (2.6 avg.). His carries against the Texans were his first rushing attempts in more than a month. His 3-yard run for a first down late in the second quarter against Houston occurred on the play before Jake Plummer’s 40-yard touchdown pass to Ashley Lelie. Although active, he did not play vs. Atl. (10/31). Hearst was inactive for Denver’s games at Cin. (10/25) and at Oak. (10/17). He dressed vs. Car. (10/10) but did not see any playing time against the Panthers. Although fully recovered from the left ankle sprain that hampered him for the previous two weeks, Hearst was held out of Denver’s game at T.B. (10/3). In his first game back since missing time with a left ankle sprain, Hearst rushed three times and picked up a team-high 13 yards (4.3 avg.) against a stingy run defense vs. S.D.

(9/26). His 11-yard run against the Chargers moved Denver into the Chargers’ red zone and set up a touchdown pass a few plays later. He missed Denver’s game at. Jac. (9/19) with a left ankle sprain. At home vs. K.C. (9/12) to open the season, Hearst rushed twice for five yards and caught one pass for five yards before suffering a left ankle sprain. His 6-yard run in the second quarter put Denver inside Kansas City’s red zone and set up a Jason Elam field goal. Hearst’s 2004 Totals Rushing Receiving G S No. Yds. Avg. LG TD Rec. Yds. Avg.

(11/7) and a 19-yarder at N.O. (11/21)) and has nine receptions for 126 yds. (14.0 avg.) 2004 Regular Season: Johnson has become a reliable pass-catcher and lead blocker at the fullback position, playing in 14 games (3 starts). Statistically, his biggest contributions this season have come as a pass catcher who has tallied nine receptions for 126 yards (14.0 avg.) with two touchdowns. He also has been a solid contributor on special teams, making nine tackles on kickoff and punt coverage to rank third on the Broncos. He missed his fist game of the season at Tenn. (12/25) with a right ankle injury. At K.C. (12/19), the fullback was forced out in the second quarter with a right ankle injury and did not start because Denver opened the game in a two tight-end set. He hauled in a Jake Plummer pass along the sideline and used a nifty move to gain 14 yards on the Broncos’ first touchdown drive vs. Mia. (12/12), and he finished the game with two receptions for 22 yards (11.0 avg.) along with two special teams tackles. Johnson started at S.D. (12/5) and played extensively against the Chargers but did not record an offensive statistic. Johnson hauled in two second-quarter passes to record eight yards (4.0 avg.) receiving vs. Oak. (11/28), and he added a stop on special teams. In his second career start at N.O. (11/21), he used his speed to turn a short catch into a 19-yard score early in the fourth quarter. He also served as a lead blocker for Reuben Droughns, helping the back gain 166 yards. Johnson had a career day vs. Hou. (11/7), setting personal bests with three receptions for 46 yards (15.3 avg.), including a 23-yard touchdown reception for his first career score. Johnson did most of the work on his third-quarter touchdown catch against the Texans as he broke several tackles along the Texans sideline to scamper into the end zone. He also displayed his toughness after a 5-yard fourth-quarter reception by withstanding a big hit from Houston cornerback Dunta Robinson, who was shaken up as a result of the collision. On special teams against the Texans, Johnson made two tackles. Because Denver opened up in a two-tight end set vs. Atl. (10/31), he did not start against the Falcons but did play extensively at fullback and on special teams. Johnson recorded his first career start at Cin. (10/25) on Monday Night Football and was involved in Denver’s special teams effort, tackling Bengals return man Kenny Watson on a third-quarter kickoff. He played special teams only at Oak. (10/17). With Reuben Droughns starting at running back vs. Car. (10/10), Johnson replaced Droughns as the team’s primary fullback against the Panthers but did not start because Denver opened the game in a three-wide receiver set, and he helped block for Droughns as he recorded the ninth-highest single-game rushing total (193 yds.) in franchise history. He made a 31-yard catch, the first of his career, on a quick pass from Jake Plummer over the middle in the first quarter that moved the Broncos into Carolina territory on their drive that resulted in their second field goal of the game. Johnson briefly played at fullback at T.B. (10/3), including an appearance on the Broncos’ fourth-quarter scoring drive that set up Denver’s field goal that proved to be the game winner. Additionally, he made his first career tackle on special teams against the Buccaneers. He saw one play at fullback and played substantially on special teams vs. S.D. (9/26). At Jac. (9/19), Johnson played on special teams only. He saw most of his action on special teams vs. K.C. (9/12) in Denver’s season opener while also filling in sparingly at fullback. He had a key block on a 32-yard kick return by Roc Alexander in the third quarter against the Chiefs.

He also made a difference on special teams by collecting seven tackles on kickoff and punt coverage. Jackson played on offense and special teams at S.D. (12/5), where he made one tackle, before a left ankle sprain forced him out of the game in the fourth quarter. He did not record a catch vs. Oak. (11/28) or at N.O. (11/21) but did compete on special teams. In the late-November game against the Raiders, he tied for the team-high with two special teams tackles. Jackson played receiver vs. Hou. (11/7) as well as special teams, and he drew a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty on a second-quarter punt return that set up Denver’s third touchdown of the game. Jackson was tangled up on the ground with the Texans’ Jonathan Wells but did not retaliate against Wells’ aggressive play, forcing the penalty. Although he was held without a catch vs. Atl. (10/31), he caught Falcons punt returner Allen Rossum from behind for a tackle to stop a 39-yard third-quarter return. Jackson enjoyed a career game on Monday Night Football at Cin. (10/25), setting career highs in receptions (4) and receiving yards (33) to total an 8.3 yards-per-reception average. His four receptions against the Bengals equaled his total reception output for his seven career games played up to that point. Jackson did not have a catch against the Bengals until the fourth quarter when he made several clutch receptions, including back-to-back 8-yard grabs with Denver looking to mount a comeback. At Oak. (10/17) in front of many of the fans who supported him when he played at nearby Menlo College, Jackson appeared on offense but did not make a catch. He caught a pass in a game for the third time this season vs. Car. (10/10) with a 6-yard reception in the third quarter. His lone catch at T.B. (10/3), a 9-yarder along the sideline, occurred during a crucial fourth-quarter drive that set up a Denver field goal that proved to be the game winner. Jackson appeared at wide receiver in a few situations vs. S.D. (9/26) while also playing on special teams, making two tackles on that unit. He made the first two catches of his career at Jac. (9/19) during the Broncos’ final drive of the game. The first catch of his career was a 5-yard grab just before the two-minute warning, and he followed that up with a 20-yard reception (the longest catch on that drive) that put Denver in scoring position. He saw the majority of his playing time vs. K.C. (9/12) on special teams and had limited duty on offense, where he did not make a catch. Jackson’s 2004 Totals Receiving Rushing G S No. Yds. Avg.

85 • Ashley Lelie • WR • 6-3 • 200 • 3 • Hawaii Regular Season Games Played/Games Started: 2004: 15/15; Career: 47/26 • With 1,014 receiving yards in 2004, Lelie eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career. • All six of his touchdown receptions have been longer than 30 yards (37, 40, 35, 31, 39 and 33 yds.), and he leads the NFL in touchdown receptions greater than 30 yards. • With six touchdown catches of 30 or more yards this season, he has posted the second-highest single-season total of touchdown receptions greater than 30 yards in franchise history (behind Anthony Miller’s 10 in 1995). • Lelie leads the Broncos with a 19.9 avg. on receptions, which is tied for the NFL high (along with Pittsburgh’s Plaxico Burress) among eligible receivers. • His 51 catches are second most on the Broncos with four of his receptions providing the game-winning points (at N.O. 11/21, vs. Hou. 11/7, vs. Car. 10/10 and vs. S.D. 9/26). • He posted the fourth 100-yard receiving game of his career and first this season at S.D. (12/5). • Lelie recorded back-to-back six-catch games at Cin. (10/25) and vs. Atl. (10/31). • He made an acrobatic 33-yard touchdown catch in the end zone from Jake Plummer on fourth-and-9 vs. S.D. (9/26) that proved to be the game-winning score. • Against the Panthers (10/10), he hauled in a 39-yard fourth-quarter Jake Plummer pass in the corner of the end zone that proved to be the game winner. 2004 Regular Season: Lelie’s size and ability to get down the field have given the Broncos’ offense a deep threat this season, and he has made several big plays in crucial situations on the way to leading the team in yards-per-catch average (19.9 avg.) and tying for the NFL best in that statistic (along with Pittsburgh’s Plaxico Burress) through 15 games (15 starts). He eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the first time in his career in 2004, posting 1,014 yards on 51 receptions to rank second on the Broncos. All six of Lelie’s touchdown receptions have been longer than 30 yards (37, 40, 35, 31, 39 and 33 yds.), and he leads the NFL in that statistic. Additionally, his six touchdown receptions of more than 30 yards rank as the second-highest single-season total in franchise history (Anthony Miller had 10 in 1995). At Tenn. (12/25), he used three catches for 88 yards, a season-best 29.3 avg., to go over the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the first time in his career. The wideout showed great concentration in hauling in a 45-yard pass in the fourth quarter against the Titans as he glanced over both shoulders before turning his body to make the catch. Lelie recorded three catches for 37 yards (12.3 avg.) at K.C. (12/19), including a 21-yarder in the second quarter that converted a third-and-15. He showed great concentration and hand strength at Mia. (12/12) by catching a 32-yard pass over Dolphins cornerback Sam Madison in a two-catch, 60-yard (30.0 avg.) game. Lelie tallied the fourth 100-yard receiving game of his career and his first this year at S.D. (12/5) with a game-high 105 receiving yards on four catches (26.3 avg.). He continued to show his ability to haul in the deep ball against the Chargers, catching passes of 44 and 36 yards in the first quarter. In snowy, frigid conditions vs. Oak. (11/28), Lelie led Denver in receptions with four catches for 80 yards (20.0 avg.). The majority of his yards against the Raiders came on a 57-yard, fourth-quarter catch in which he pulled in the ball and stumbled to the ground before gaining an additional 10 yards to the Oakland 3-yard line, setting up a touchdown run on the next play. He came up with his two biggest receptions on back-to-back plays in the first quarter at N.O. (11/21) by catching a 33-yard pass from Jake Plummer before hauling in a 37-yard touchdown. He finished the Broncos’ game against the Saints with three receptions for 79 yards (26.3 avg.) and a touchdown. Lelie hauled in his fifth touchdown catch of the season longer than 30 yards vs. Hou. (11/7) with a 40-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, and he finished the game with a team-high four catches and 81 yards receiving (20.3 avg.). One of his biggest plays vs. Houston was not a catch but rather a 36-yard pass interference call he drew on Texans cornerback Aaron Glenn in the first quarter that helped Denver set up its first touchdown of the game. He recorded his second consecutive six-catch game vs. Atl. (10/31) as he collected a season-high 94 receiving yards, including a 35-yard touchdown catch. He turned in a big fourth quarter against the Falcons by collecting 54 receiving yards on a single drive (13, 6 and 35-yard catches) that ended with his touchdown reception. On Monday Night Football at Cin. (10/25), Lelie had a team-high six catches for 82 yards. He hauled in a 35-yard pass in the third quarter that put the Broncos inside Cincinnati’s 20-yard line to set up a field goal, which trimmed the Bengals’ lead to 3. He came down with a 31-yard touchdown in the second quarter at Oak. (10/17) on his way to making two catches for 45 yards (22.5 avg.) against the Raiders. On third down in the fourth quarter vs. Car. (10/10) with the Broncos trailing by four, Lelie made a 39-yard, over-the-shoulder, touchdown catch in the corner of the end zone that proved to be the game winner, marking the third consecutive week that he was involved in the game-changing play. He added another catch against the Panthers to total 52 yards on two catches (26.0 avg.). Although he only caught one pass for three yards at T.B. (10/3), his effort in going after a fourth-quarter pass helped result in a 37-yard pass interference call that put Denver in position to make a field goal that proved to be the game winner. Lelie pulled down a spectacular 33-yard touchdown grab, which proved to be the game-winner, over the head of Chargers cornerback Quentin Jammer on fourth-and-9 in the third quarter vs. S.D. (9/26) as part of a four-catch, 67-yard (16.8 avg.) effort vs. the Chargers. He recorded his first rushing statistics of the season that day, rushing twice on reverses for six yards (3.0 avg.). He caught three passes for 53 yards (17.7 avg.) at Jac. (9/19) in a performance highlighted by a 39-yard catch that moved the Broncos down to Jacksonville’s 6-yard line and set up a field goal right before the half. He also made a tough 8-yard catch on a third down with Denver driving at the end of the game. Lelie hauled in a 58-yard strike from Jake Plummer vs. K.C. (9/12) to begin a Denver series in the third quarter on his way to recording 88 yards receiving on four catches (22.0 avg.) against the Chiefs. The 58-yard catch was the second-longest reception on opening weekend in the NFL. The 58-yard reception stands as Denver’s longest play from scrimmage this year. With the score tied at 24, his 22-yard catch to begin the fourth quarter

set up a field goal that eventually proved to be the game winner. Lelie also had a key block on Quentin Griffin’s 25-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.

Additionally, he has shown improvement as a wide receiver with six receptions for 52 yards (8.7 avg.). He recorded a career-long 32-yard kickoff return at Tenn. (12/25) in a four-return, 96-yard (24.0 avg.) night. He also returned a pair of punts for six yards in the Titans’ game. Luke had one of the best games of his rookie year at K.C. (12/19), catching five passes for 40 yards (8.0 avg.) to set career highs. In addition to one punt return (0 yds.), he returned kickoffs for the first time in nearly two months against the Chiefs, posting eight returns for 155 yards (19.4 avg.) that marked the most kick returns by a Bronco in a game since Kevin Kasper’s eight returns at Kansas City on Oct. 20, 2002. He returned a career-high five punts for 23 yards (4.6 avg.) vs. Mia. (12/12) and played sparingly at wide receiver. He also has gained 35 yards on two kick returns (17.5 avg.) and totaled one reception for 12 yards. He played on special teams only at S.D. (12/5). Luke’s first NFL catch, a 12-yard reception, came in a crucial situation with a little more than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter vs. Oak. (11/28) as the Broncos were driving for a potential game-winning score. He was inactive at N.O. (11/21) and vs. Hou. (11/7). Luke was inactive for the first time in four weeks vs. Atl. (10/31). Although he had a relatively quiet game returning punts (one return for two yards and two fair catches) on Monday Night Football at Cin. (10/25), he replaced Quentin Griffin as the Broncos’ kickoff returner after Griffin suffered a knee injury returning the opening kickoff of the second half. Luke finished the game with two kick returns for 35 yards (17.5 avg.). He made an impact in the Broncos’ game at Oak. (10/17) by gaining 59 yards on four returns (14.8 avg.). Late in the third quarter against the Raiders, Luke brought back a punt 21 yards and picked up an additional 15 yards on a face mask penalty. He had two returns for 10 yards (5.0 avg.) vs. Car. (10/10). In his first career game at T.B. (10/3), he gained 19 yards on two returns (9.5 avg.) and made three fair catches. Luke was inactive for Denver’s first three games.

In addition to being Plummer’s go-to receiver, he leads the Broncos and ranks fifth in the AFC (8th in NFL) in punt-return average with a 10.1 avg. on 21 returns for 212 yards. Smith caught a touchdown pass in a six-catch, 58-yard (9.7 avg.) effort at Tenn. (12/25). He became one of 20 players in NFL history to record 700 career receptions at K.C. (12/19) as he used a six-catch, 75-yard effort (12.5 avg.) with one touchdown to reach the 700-mark in catches, passing Gary Clark for 20th all-time in career receptions in NFL history. He scored his lone touchdown against the Chiefs on a 22-yard grab with a few seconds left in the first quarter and also eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the seventh time in his career.

He ranks second among AFC rookies in receptions while also ranking second in the conference among rookies in receiving yards (6th in NFL). Watts hauled in two catches for 29 yards (14.5 avg.) at Tenn. (12/25). He finished with one catch for 14 yards at K.C. (12/19) with his lone reception moving Denver into Chiefs territory with a little more than a minute remaining in the first half on a scoring (field goal) drive. Watts’ only catch vs. Mia. (12/12) was a 16-yard catch that began Denver’s second touchdown drive of the game. At S.D. (12/5), he caught two passes for 23 yards (11.5 avg.). Both of his receptions, a 13 and 10-yarder, occurred on the Broncos’ final drive during their comeback attempt. Watts recorded the second start of his career vs. Oak. (11/28) with Denver opening the game in a three wide-receiver set, and the rookie made two catches for 27 yards (13.5 avg.). He showed great balance to stay inbounds on a 19-yard catch, which converted a third down, in the Broncos’ game against the Raiders. He caught a 12-yard pass, his only reception of the game, from Jake Plummer for a first down at N.O. (11/21) on a second-half touchdown drive. Watts kept his streak of recording at least one catch in every game alive vs. Hou. (11/7) with a 5-yard reception in the fourth quarter. He also took a reverse against the Texans in the third quarter, running four yards around the left side to set up a touchdown pass two plays later. In a breakout game vs. Atl. (10/31), he made a career-high seven receptions for a personal-best 86 yards (12.3 avg.), including a 7-yard catch that marked the first touchdown of his career. He made major contributions in the fourth quarter against the Falcons by recording six grabs for 78 yards in the final period, including three catches for 41 yards on a drive. He showed great concentration in getting both feet inbounds on his first-career touchdown reception during the Broncos’ comeback attempt against Atlanta. Watts came up big for the Broncos on Monday Night Football at Cin. (10/25) by tying a then-career high with four catches for 36 yards (9.0 avg.) while also gaining a first down on a 10-yard reverse in the first quarter. He used his speed to turn up field to make a 19-yard reception in the second quarter against the Bengals to set up Denver’s lone touchdown. Watts’ only catch at Oak. (10/17) came on a crossing route over the middle in the first quarter that he turned into a 28-yard gain. In his first career start vs. Car. (10/10) with the Broncos electing to open the game in a three wide-receiver set, Watts used a combination of his long arms and sharp reflexes to catch a quick Jake Plummer pass for 14 yards while falling down on a key fourth-quarter third-down conversion with less than five minutes remaining. The catch, which was his lone grab against the Panthers, helped the Broncos run out the clock to seal their comeback win. During his two-catch, 20-yard (10.0 avg.) effort at T.B. (10/3), his 13-yard grab on a third-and-16 in the second quarter moved the Broncos just close enough to make a 50-yard field goal. He also recorded his first career rush against the Buccaneers on a fourth-quarter 7-yard run that converted a third down during the Broncos’ seven-minute, 23-second drive that sealed their win. He had a career day vs. S.D. (9/26), setting personal bests with four catches and 42 yards receiving. Watts made two catches, including a 17-yard grab to move Denver into scoring range, during a fourth-quarter drive that set up a field goal against the Chargers. He recorded a clutch 11-yard reception, his lone catch of the game, at Jac. (9/19) with the Broncos pinned at their 6-yard line late in the game trailing by 1. In his NFL debut vs. K.C. (9/12), Watts was Denver’s No. 3 receiver and caught a 22-yard pass late in the first quarter to move the Broncos into scoring territory to set up a Quentin Griffin touchdown catch.

He was used in several different formations, including split wide, against the Saints. His two-catch, 19-yard (11.1 avg.) game vs. Hou. (11/7) was highlighted by a 15-yard reception during an efficient touchdown drive that took place with less than 1:30 left in the first half. He did not make a catch in a start vs. Atl. (10/31). Carswell missed Denver’s game at Cin. (10/25) because he was on the reserve/suspended list.

All of his receptions came in the second half, and he accounted for 30 receiving yards during the Broncos’ game-winning, fourth-quarter touchdown drive. Carswell was involved as a blocker during short-yardage situations at T.B. (10/3), helping Denver convert eight third-down attempts, and he did not record a catch that game. His lone reception in a start vs. S.D. (9/26) was a 4-yard grab that began a Denver field-goal drive in the second quarter. Carswell recorded his first start of the season at Jac. (9/19) during a game in which he totaled his first offensive statistics of the season. He made three catches for 35 yards (11.7 avg.), including a shoestring 19-yard reception late in the fourth quarter with Denver looking to erase its 1-point deficit against the Jaguars.

His three touchdown receptions rank third on the Broncos. Hape’s ability to sell Denver’s play-action pass on the goal line has resulted in a productive season, and the veteran also has been used as an H-back on offense. With regular starting fullback Kyle Johnson out at Tenn. (12/25) with an injury, Hape started at fullback and tied a career high with two catches for 12 yards (6.0 avg.), including an 11-yard catch out of the backfield, while seeing extensive action as a lead blocker. He saw time at tight end at K.C. (12/19) and became Denver’s lead blocker against the Chiefs when fullback Kyle Johnson went down with a first-half injury. Hape made his third start of the season vs. Mia. (12/12) but did not make a catch. He saw action on offense at S.D. (12/5), vs. Oak. (11/28), at N.O. (11/21) and vs. Hou. (11/7) but did not make a catch in those games. Hape made his only catch vs. Atl. (10/31) count as he hauled in 1-yard pass in the left corner of the end zone from Jake Plummer to account for Denver’s first score of the game. He made his second start of the season at Cin. (10/25) on Monday Night Football but did not record a catch. Hape hauled in a 7-yard reception at Oak. (10/17) in the third quarter that brought Denver inside the Raiders’ 10-yard line to set up their fourth touchdown of the game. Hape appeared at tight end during blocking situations vs. Car. (10/10) and also appeared at H-back. He came down with a 5-yard touchdown grab at T.B. (10/3) after Jake Plummer fooled the Buccaneers’ defense with a bootleg to the right side. The 5-yard score against the Buccaneers marked the longest touchdown of Hape’s career. Hape briefly saw action at tight end vs. S.D. (9/26) while also playing on special teams. He started his first game since the 2001 season at Jac. (9/19) when the Broncos opened the game in a two-tight end set, but he did not total any offensive statistics against the Jaguars. Hape’s only reception vs. K.C. (9/12) during the Broncos’ season opener was a 2-yard touchdown catch with a little more than two minutes left in the game that capped off a crucial 13-play, 87-yard drive occupying more than seven minutes of time in the fourth quarter. The score sealed the win for Denver as the Broncos took a 34-24 lead over the Chiefs following the pivotal drive. Hape’s 2004 Totals Receiving G S No. Yds. Avg. LG TD K.C. (9/12) 1 2 2.0 2T 1 @Jac.

88 • Jeb Putzier • TE • 6-4 • 256 • 3 • Boise State Regular Season Games Played/Games Started: 2004: 15/5; Career: 22/6

• Putzier is enjoying the finest season of his career, ranking fourth among AFC tight ends (9th in NFL) with 505 yards receiving and placing fourth in receptions by an AFC tight end with 33. • His 15.3 yards-per-reception average leads the AFC (2nd in NFL) among eligible tight ends and is the third-highest average by a tight end in Broncos history. 2004 Regular Season: Putzier’s athleticism gives Denver the ability to stretch the field with him in the game, and the former college receiver leads the Broncos’ tight ends with 33 catches for 505 yards (15.3 avg.) through 15 games (5 starts). He ranks fourth in the AFC (9th in NFL) among tight ends in receiving yards while placing fourth in receptions by an AFC tight end. He leads the AFC (2nd in NFL) among eligible tight ends with a 15.3 yards-per-reception average, which is the third-highest average by a tight end in Broncos history. In addition to his duties at tight end, Putzier takes on added responsibility as an H-back for Denver in certain formations. He enjoyed one of his strongest games of the season at Tenn. (12/25) with four receptions for 60 yards (15.0 avg.). He used his speed to pick up 34 yards on a reception against the Titans that moved Denver to the Tennessee 6-yard line on its way to a touchdown. With the Broncos opening their game at K.C. (12/19) in a two tight-end set, he started and caught three passes for 30 yards (10.0 avg.). Putzier converted a fourth-and-6 in the fourth quarter vs. Mia. (12/12) with a 19-yard reception, and he totaled two catches for 30 yards (15.0 avg.) in Denver’s win against the Dolphins. He kept the Broncos’ comeback attempt alive at S.D. (12/5) with a career-high 39-yard catch, his only reception, in the fourth quarter. Putzier’s lone catch vs. Oak. (11/28) was an 18-yard reception in the first quarter. He was significantly involved in Denver’s offense at N.O. (11/21), catching four passes for 36 yards (9.0 avg.). In the third quarter against the Saints, he caught three passes (10, 9 and 11 yds.) that went for first downs. Putzier hauled in a highlight-reel worthy 34-yard touchdown in the first quarter vs. Hou. (11/7) as part of a two-catch, 48-yard (24.0 avg.) receiving day against the Texans. On his touchdown reception, Putzier caught the pass from Jake Plummer and then froze Texans cornerback Dunta Robinson with a stutter step along the left sideline before he raced in for the score. His speed turned a short catch into a career-long 38-yard reception in the second quarter vs. Atl. (10/31) during a two-catch, 47-yard (23.5 avg.) day against the Falcons. On Monday Night Football at Cin. (10/25), Putzier was held without a catch for only the second time this season. With three catches for 52 yards (17.3 avg.) along with his first career touchdown, Putzier led all Broncos in receiving at Oak. (10/17) while making his first start since the opener. Putzier’s day against the Raiders was highlighted by a 12-yard scoring catch in the first quarter as well as a 28-yard reception, which tied a career high, in the second quarter.

He has played in 13 games since recovering from a lower-back injury that kept him out of the season opener and has totaled four tackles (3 solo), one sack (-12 yds.), one forced fumble and one pass breakup as well as making five tackles on special teams to rank ninth on the Broncos. Chukwurah played on special teams and appeared at defensive end during a few passing plays at Tenn. (12/25) and at K.C. (12/19). He tallied a tackle on defense as an end as well as on special teams vs. Mia. (12/12). Chukwurah had a big day on special teams at S.D.

(10/10), Chukwurah lined up at defensive end and swatted Jake Delhomme’s arm to break up the pass for an incompletion. At T.B. (10/3), Chukwurah did not record a tackle but drilled the Buccaneers’ Brad Johnson just after the quarterback released the ball on a third-quarter completion. In Denver’s games vs. S.D. (9/26) and at Jac. (9/19), Chukwurah was used as a defensive end during pass-rush situations and also contributed on special teams. He was inactive for the Broncos’ season opener vs. K.C.

1 • Jason Elam • K • 5-11 • 200 • 12 • Hawaii Regular Season Games Played/Games Started: 2004: 15/0; Career: 187/0 • When he passed the 100-point mark (114 total) this season at K.C. (12/19), Elam recorded his 12th consecutive 100-point season, the longest streak in NFL history. • He ranks third all-time in 100-point seasons. • Elam stands fourth all-time in Broncos history in regular-season games played (187), and if he plays in Denver’s season finale, will take over sole possession of third place all-time. • Elam scored at least one point in every game of his career (187), which is the second-longest streak in NFL history (behind Morten Anderson). • He is tied for third in the AFC (T-4th in NFL) in scoring among kickers with 114 points. • He notched his 300th-career field goal faster than any other kicker in NFL history vs. Car. (10/10) and is one of only 16 kickers in NFL history with 300 field goals (313 total). • Elam was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week after a strong performance at T.B. (10/3), marking the fourth time in his career that he has won that award. • He has made two game-winning or game tying field goals in the fourth quarter with the most recent being a 50-yarder vs. Mia. (12/12). • Elam passed Mark Moseley at N.O. (11/21) for 16th place all-time on the NFL’s scoring list (1,414 career pts.). • His 25 field goals rank fourth in the AFC (5th in NFL). • He has connected on 25-of-30 field-goal attempts (83.3%), including three field goals of more than 50 yards. • Elam connected on two 49+-yard field goals in a game for the first time in his career at T.B. (10/3). 2004 Regular Season: Elam has been a model of consistency through 15 games, connecting on 25-of-30 field-goal attempts (83.3%) with a long of 52 yards. He has accounted for 114 of Denver’s 348 points this season (75 pts. on field goals, 39 on extra points) and is tied for third in the AFC (T-4th in NFL) in scoring among kickers. His 25 field goals rank fourth in the AFC (5th in NFL). Elam has scored in every game of his career (187), which is second-longest streak in NFL history (behind Morten Anderson). Elam took over sole possession of second place on the NFL’s all-time consecutive scoring streak (187 games with at least one point) at Tenn. (12/25), drilling 3-of-4 field goals and all four extra points against the Titans. He also passed Matt Bahr for 15th place on the NFL’s all-time scoring list in Tennessee. With a 27-yard field goal and two extra points at K.C. (12/19), he went over the 100-point mark for the 12th consecutive season for the longest such streak in NFL history. He currently stands third all-time in 100-point seasons. Additionally, he tied Jim Breach for the second-longest scoring streak in NFL history (186 games) against the Chiefs. During Denver’s visit to Kansas City, he kicked off for the first time in 2004 on Denver’s onside kick attempt late in the game that the Chiefs recovered. Elam drilled a 50-yard field goal vs. Mia. (12/12) in the fourth quarter that proved to be the game winner and also made a 20-yard field goal against the Dolphins. Elam’s 50-yarder was his 16th game-winning or tying field goal in the fourth quarter and his second this season. Although his 43-yard attempt at S.D. (12/5) drifted wide left, he made up for the miss with a 31-yard field goal in the fourth quarter that kept Denver’s comeback alive. In snowy conditions vs. Oak. (11/28), he made 1-of-2 field goals. He connected on a 32-yard attempt in the second quarter against the Raiders, but a potential game-tying 43-yard field goal with less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter was blocked, marking the first time since Nov. 5, 2001, that an Elam field-goal attempt had been blocked. Elam had a busy first quarter at N.O. (11/21), connecting on 48 and 34-yard field goals in his only attempts of the game. He drilled a 52-yard kick in the first quarter vs. Hou. (11/7), which marked his second conversion from longer than 50 yards this season. Elam did not attempt a field goal for the first time this season vs. Atl. (10/31) but did connect on all four extra-point attempts to extend his scoring streak to 180 games. At Cin. (10/25) on Monday Night Football, he moved past Fred Cox for 18th place all-time on the NFL’s scoring list with a 29-yard field goal and an extra point. His 49-yard field-goal attempt against the Bengals was wide left, marking his first miss in four weeks. He moved into a tie for 18th place (Fred Cox) on the NFL’s all-time scoring list with a 33-yard field goal and four extra points at Oak. (10/17). With two field goals (32 and 33 yards) in the first quarter vs. Car. (10/10), Elam notched his 300th career field goal faster than any other kicker in NFL history and is one of only 16 players in NFL history with 300 field goals. Elam helped Denver overcome a stingy Buccaneers defense at T.B. (10/3) by hitting 3-of-3 field goals that day. His 50-yarder in the second quarter against the Buccaneers was his longest field goal this season, and he added a clutch fourth-quarter 23-yarder to secure the win. Against the Buccaneers, Elam hit two 49+-yard field goals (50 and 49 yds.) in a game for the first time in his career. His play against the Buccaneers earned the kicker AFC Special Teams Player of the Week, marking the fourth time in his career he has won that award. Against the Chargers in Denver’s game vs. S.D. (9/26), he drilled two field goals, a 22 and 23-yarder, before hitting a 43-yarder in the fourth quarter to extend Denver’s lead to two possessions. His sole miss of the season came at Jac. (9/19) when his 51-yard attempt into a stiff wind late in the third quarter fell short. He was successful on his two other attempts at Jacksonville, a 44-yard kick that bounced off the left upright before clearing the bar and a 22-yarder, to account for Denver’s only points that game. Elam had a strong opening to the 2004 season vs. K.C. (9/12) by connecting on 43 and 45-yard field goals and all four extra points. He scored 10 points in Wk. 1, which tied for the top mark in the NFL. His 45-yarder with 13:26 remaining in the fourth quarter against the Chiefs broke a 24-24 tie and proved to be the eventual game winner.
