The Broncos have a 10-7 (.588) record against defending Super Bowl champions, including a 6-2 (.750) mark at home, and are 1-2 under Coach Shanahan (1995-Present) in these games.

Fittingly, the Patriots were the last defending Super Bowl Champion that Denver faced with the Broncos defeating the Super Bowl XXXVI champions 24-16 on Oct. 27, 2002.

DENVER ON A FIVE-GAME WINNING STREAK AGAINST SUPER BOWL PARTICIPANTS

The Broncos have won their last five games played against Super Bowl participants, a streak that began with a 23-16 victory against Super Bowl XXXVI runner-up St. Louis in the season opener Sept. 8, 2002.

The Broncos are 18-15 (.545) all-time in the regular season against teams that participated in the previous year’s Super Bowl and own a 13-5 (.706) mark at home. Denver is 8-3 (.727) in these games under Head Coach Mike Shanahan (1995-Present), including 6-1 (.857) at home.

With Sunday’s game against New England, Denver will play a Super Bowl participant for the 22nd year and for the sixth consecutive season. The Broncos went five seasons without playing a Super Bowl participant from 1987-91 but have played a conference champion in nine of the last 13 years.

Denver’s game against New England on Sunday combined with its upcoming home tilt with Philadelphia on Oct. 30 marks the fifth time in the Broncos’ history that the club will face both the defending AFC and NFC Champs in the same year. Additionally, it is the third time in the last five years that Denver will play both Super Bowl participants from the previous season.

DENVER WIDEOUTS HIT 100 YARDS WITH REGULARITY VS. NEW ENGLAND

A Broncos receiver has eclipsed the century mark receiving against the Patriots in five of the last seven games played between the two teams. No Denver player went above 100 yards in its last meeting against the Patriots, which snapped a streak of four consecutive games against the team with a 100-yard receiver.

Broncos wide receiver Rod Smith owns 28 career 100-yard receiving games in the regular season with 15 of those coming in divisional games. Of his 13 career 100-yard games against non-divisional opponents, a personal-best three have come against the Patriots. All three of Smith’s 100-yard games against New England have occurred at home.

The Broncos have owned a lead in time of possession in 10 of their last 11 games against the Patriots dating back to 1997. The only game during that stretch in which Denver did not have an advantage in time of possession occurred on Oct. 28, 2001, with New England holding the ball for 30:51 compared to Denver’s 29:09 time of possession.

Denver has held onto the ball for a total of 75:31 more minutes than New England in the last 11 games for an average time of possession advantage of 6:52 minutes per game.

PLUMMER FACES PATRIOTS FOR THE FIRST TIME

Sunday’s game will mark Jake Plummer’s first contest against the Patriots, and New England is one of three teams that the nine-year veteran has not faced in the regular season or playoffs.

Plummer also has not played against Arizona, where he spent the first six years of his career, and the New York Jets, whom Denver is scheduled to play Nov. 20 at INVESCO Field at Mile High.

PATRIOTS STUGGLE TO RUN IN THE MILE HIGH CITY

The Patriots, who enter Sunday’s game ranked 24th in the NFL in rushing, could face a challenge in establishing a ground game against the NFL’s fifth-ranked run defense. Additionally, Denver’s run defense has been especially successful against the Patriots at home in the teams’ last six meetings.

The Broncos have held the Patriots under 100 yards rushing in five of their last six games at home dating back to 1991. New England has scored only one rushing touchdown in Denver during this period and is averaging only 3.1 yards per carry.

SAUERBRUN’S SUPER EFFORT

Three-time Pro Bowl punter Todd Sauerbrun is the only current player on the Broncos to have competed in the Super Bowl against the Patriots during their stretch of three World Championships in the last four years.

Although Sauerbrun’s Carolina Panthers were defeated by New England 32-29 in Super Bowl XXXVIII on Feb. 1, 2004, in Houston, the punter turned in an outstanding performance on the NFL’s biggest stage by totaling a 44.3 gross punting average. Sauerbrun’s punting average was the highest in the Super Bowl in six years, minimum of four punts (Tom Tupa, N.E. – 45.1 avg. vs. Green Bay in Super Bowl XXXI on Jan. 26, 1997.).

BRONCOS RACE TO ANOTHER OUTSTANDING START

The Broncos are 4-1 or better after their first five games for the seventh time in Head Coach Mike Shanahan’s 11 seasons with the club.

BRONCOS POST CONSECUTIVE 100-YARD GAMES FROM DIFFERENT RUSHERS

Tatum Bell’s 127 rushing yards against the Redskins on Oct. 9 marked the fifth time in Broncos franchise history that the team had a different 100-yard rusher in consecutive games. Bell’s effort came one week after Mike Anderson posted 115 yards at Jacksonville on Oct. 2.

Bell and Anderson comprise the first pair of Broncos running backs to post 100-yard performances in consecutive games since Clinton Portis and Quentin Griffin accomplished the feat in December of 2003.

Additionally, the Broncos are the only NFL team in 2005 to have two different players rush for 100 or more yards in a game.

BRONCOS BACKS MAKING BIG PLAYS

Denver rushers have combined for 20 runs this season of 10 or more yards, which represents the highest total among AFC teams and ranks third in the NFL. The team also is tied with Seattle and the New York Giants with the most touchdown runs (3) of 10 or more yards, a total that was raised with Tatum Bell’s 55 and 12-yard scoring runs vs. Washington on Oct. 9.

Bell (8) and fellow running back Mike Anderson (6) lead the team in 10+yard runs while Ron Dayne (2), Ashley Lelie (2), Charlie Adams (1) and Jake Plummer (1) also have contributed to the total.

PROTECTING THE FOOTBALL

A key to the Broncos’ four-game winning streak has been the team’s ability to hold onto the football. Denver has not committed a turnover in its last three games and has collected six opponent takeaways during that period.

In fact, the Broncos have not committed a turnover in the last 204 minutes and 31 seconds. The turnover-less streak dates back to the 9:31 mark of the third quarter against San Diego on Sept. 18 when Jake Plummer was intercepted by safety Bhawoh Jue.

Plummer has not thrown an interception in his last 83 attempts and ranks ninth in the NFL (4th in AFC) with a 1.9 interception percentage.

DISCIPLINED PLAY

The Broncos are the fourth-fewest penalized team (27 for 221 yards) in the NFL through Week 5. The offensive side of the ball is where the Broncos’ disciplined play has been the most evident as the team has committed only eight offensive penalties (65 yds.) to tie for the second-fewest total of such penalties committed in the NFL.

SAUERBRUN SHINING IN DENVER

The Broncos rank fifth in the NFL (4th in AFC) in opponent starting position with the average starting yard line of their 55 opponent possessions being at their 25.9 yard-line. A major reason why Denver is doing so well with field position has been the play of punter Todd Sauerbrun, whom Denver acquired from Carolina in an offseason trade.

The three-time Pro Bowl player leads the AFC and ranks third in the NFL with a 46.8 gross punting average. Sauerbrun also ranks third in the NFL (2nd in AFC) with seven touchbacks on kickoffs.

THE LAST TIME NEW ENGLAND 30, at DENVER 26

(INVESCO FIELD AT MILE HIGH, 11/3/03)

The Broncos suffered their third consecutive loss falling 30-26 to the New England Patriots at INVESCO Field at Mile High in front of 76,203 fans and a national television audience on ABC’s Monday Night Football. Denver held a three-point lead late in the fourth quarter, but New England came back and scored the go-ahead touchdown with 36 seconds remaining in the game.

In his second start of the season in place of the injured Jake Plummer, quarterback Danny Kanell threw for 163 yards and a touchdown. Running back Clinton Portis chipped in with 111 yards rushing and a touchdown, the first 100-yard rushing performance by a back against New England this season. Unfortunately, however, the injury bug again hit Denver, when kicker Jason Elam pulled a hamstring in the first half and did not return, and starting linebacker Donnie Spragan—playing for the injured John Mobley—left the game in the third quarter and did not return.

Safety Kenoy Kennedy gave the Broncos the first break of the game when he recovered a Tom Brady fumble on New England’s 28-yard line. Four plays later, Portis rushed up the middle for a 15-yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead. On the Patriots’ next possession, Tom Brady’s pass intended for David Givens was intercepted by Kennedy, giving Denver the ball at New England’s 35-yard line. Denver was unable to capitalize on the turnover as Jason Elam’s 44-yard field goal missed wide left.

On their first play of the Patriots’ next drive, Brady hit Deion Branch in stride for a 66-yard touchdown. The Broncos responded early in the second quarter after securing good field position near midfield. Elam kicked a 43-yard field goal to give the Broncos a 10-7 lead. Elam would not return to the game after

that kick. The Patriots answered on their next series to tie the game with Adam Vinatieri’s 40-yard field goal.

Kanell led the Broncos 58 yards in seven plays and capped the drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Mike Anderson with 28 seconds left in the half. Denver appeared to poised to take a 17-10 lead into to the locker room, but on the kickoff New England’s Bethel Johnson sprinted 63 yards to the Denver’s 36-yard line. New England was successful on a 46-yard field goal by Vinatieri to cut the lead to 3 at the half.

Midway through the third quarter, New England took a 20-17 when Brady threw his second touchdown of the game, a 6-yarder to tight end Daniel Graham. After forcing New England to punt, Deltha O’Neal returned it 57 yards for a touchdown giving the Broncos the lead 24-20 lead. The Patriots added a field goal early in the fourth quarter, closing the gap to just one point.

With a little more than three minutes remaining in the game, punter Micah Knorr pinned the Patriots on their own 1-yard line. A strong defensive stance by the Broncos led to a Patriots punt, but the ball was snapped and hit the cross bar for a safety and a 26-23 Denver lead. Off the free kick, Denver took over at its own 15-yard line but was unable to move the football. With 2:15 remaining in the game, Denver was forced to punt, giving New England good field position at its own 42-yard line. Brady found Givens in the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown with 36 seconds left in the game, giving the team an eventual 30-26 win.

BRONCOS HEAD COACH MIKE SHANAHAN DAY-AFTER-GAME PRESS CONFERENCE (10/10/05)

On winning against Washington without a lot of offensive production

“Those are the games you want to try to find a way to win. Sometimes they’re not pretty, but you make some plays when you have to make them. That’s what we did.”

More on the game against Washington

“I think we had some penalties. We had them stopped a couple times and all of a sudden we had some penalties. We gave them some first downs, and they kept on fighting. I think that was the key. A lot of times you have some adversity – guys lose focus, and they don’t play quite as hard. I thought our guys played hard. We made some mistakes, but we were able to overcome them.”

On the best way to play against a team that ‘max protects’ like Washington

“Like we did. Sometimes you’re going to get some yards, but you have to get the ball in the end zone. That’s the key. We’ve done that before – 560 yards, 600 yards against the run. It really doesn’t matter if you turn the football over. You have to find a way to win. You can get those yards, but you have to push and score in the red zone. Obviously, that was the deciding factor (Sunday).”

On the three-game streak without a turnover

“No, you don’t have to talk about it. You don’t have to put the whammy on us.”

On the lack of offensive production versus Washington

“You want to find a way to win. Sometimes, you’re going to score some points. Other times, you are going to get some yards. The bottom line is you try to put a game plan together that gives you the best chance to win. Points will come, yards will come. I think we’ve proven over history that we can move the football. Maybe some day, we’ll get some yards and some more points.”

On the performance of P Todd Sauerbrun

“Well, he had a great game. With him and (running back) Tatum Bell, they were the difference in the game. We had big plays by Tatum. We had big punts by Todd. Field position – that was the game. People forget about the hidden yardage. There was a lot of hidden yardage yesterday.”

On RB Tatum Bell

“I think Tatum just has to stay healthy. He’s played well when he’s played. There have been some setbacks. As long as he stays healthy, he’ll keep on getting better. He’s always been pretty good at the blitz pickup. He’s very physical – not afraid to put his face in there. He has pretty good hands. He’s worked on that. He keeps getting better and better. He’s not afraid to block linebackers and defensive lineman. He has toughness. It’s really just getting him the opportunity and staying healthy.”

On using a running back by committee approach

“We keep talking about that. The reason we use a running back by committee is because people go down. Mike Anderson went down. Tatum (Bell) went down. Ron Dayne got a little opportunity. The perfect scenario would be to have two guys who can really run the ball downhill. Mike Anderson and Ron Dayne – two guys that are very physical and can get you the tough yardage. We have a guy like Tatum – when he touches the ball, he can go the distance. When you have a guy like that, you don’t want to overwork him because he’s playing special teams as well.”

On CB Champ Bailey’s hamstring injury

“You never know with that hamstring until they go out there and actually practice. He took a lot of reps this week and didn’t play. Hopefully it gets a little bit better. We’ll see this week.”

On whether he wants to play the New England Patriots or just see them in the playoffs

“It’s always nice to go up against a team that has been very good. Obviously the last time we played them, it was a very close game. I think our football team is looking forward to playing them. It’s a great challenge – they’re the defending Super Bowl champs. They always find a way to win, get the job done. That’s something we’re looking forward to.”

On the improvement of LB Ian Gold

“I’m not sure he’s improved. He’s always been a great player. As soon as he started, he took advantage of the opportunity to play. He was a great special teams player the first couple of years. He was a great starter his next two years. We were really disappointed in losing him for that year, but he’s come back and he makes plays. He has great speed. We can always look to him on game day to make plays like he did yesterday.”

On whether he ever expected to be playing all three rookie cornerbacks at the same time

“No, I didn’t, to be honest with you. You never know for sure how a rookie is going to react. These guys have really stepped up and played well. Hopefully, they can keep it going.”

2005 BRONCOS WEEKLY RELEASE

DENVER VS. NEW ENGLAND – 13 – ! www.denverbroncos.com

On the reversal of QB Jake Plummer’s fumble being called an incomplete pass

“Well, if you know the tuck rule, you can see right away. I looked at a replay, and that’s why I challenged it. I knew right when I saw it – it was a classic tuck rule. You can debate the tuck rule, but you can’t debate that that’s what it was.”

More on the tuck rule

“My opinion would be that it would be a fumble. It’s so hard for an official to take a look and decide. That’s why they have the tuck rule in there. If you ever go to these meeting where there are about a 100 different shots, you think ‘Oh my God, this is easy.’ Well, it’s not easy for the referees. That’s why they came up with this rule. After looking at a 150 different shots, you can see why they do have the tuck rule. My first impression when I saw it happen against the Raiders, I said, ‘God, that’s a bad rule.’ But that’s the rule, and you deal with the rules.”

On being able to prevent a slow finish to the season after a fast start

“Well, you have to go back to some of those good years. It’s not just the bad ones. We stayed a little bit healthier. We went to the two Super Bowls that we had. I think we have a little bit more depth now than we did over the past couple years. We just need to stay healthy, play at a higher level, and win some of those close games.”

On getting the win against Washington despite the lack of a passing game

“Well, you run the ball, and when you average what we do running the ball, a lot of times you do win. Especially when you have three big plays and two are for touchdowns. I guess you’d have to be on the field under those conditions to really appreciate how tough it is to throw the ball. Some guys can do it better than others. (Mark) Brunell was unbelievable. I’ve been with some quarterbacks that when it’s raining like that, they don’t want to throw it. It’s just tough to throw. You have to deal with those elements and get it done under those conditions. We took a couple shots up field to keep the safeties honest, which opened up the running game.”

On where he ranks Patriots QB Tom Brady

“I’m not sure if anyone’s playing better. Obviously, Peyton Manning is a name that comes out at you. Brady has been playing great.”

POST-GAME PLAYER QUOTES at DENVER 21, WASHINGTON 19

(INVESCO FIELD AT MILE HIGH, 10/9/05)

RB TATUM BELL

On his 34-yard touchdown run in the first quarter

“That’s how the play was designed: a jab step and a little option pitch to the left. The defensive end stepped out, and I just cut back, used my vision, and it was a footrace from there.”

On getting his opportunity to see more extensive action

“I just have to be patient and wait my turn. My coaches have been on me a lot about breaking and not taking it the distance. I told them, the next time I will take it the distance and just go all out.”

On showcasing his ability

“The coaches know what I can do. I just have to keep pushing [RB] Mike [Anderson], and wait on my chance. I need to work on being more consistent in practice. Blocking, running, practice; just more consistent. Mike is still the starter, so, obviously he’s doing something I’m not doing. I just have to keep working. I don’t want to just be a ‘one-game-wonder’. I want to be the starter.”

CB DOMONIQUE FOXWORTH

On matching up against Redskins WR Santana Moss in his second career start

“I think I match up well against guys like him. He’s fast and I’m fast. When it comes down to it, I just have to let my skills and technique take over.”

QB JAKE PLUMMER

On handing the Redskins their first loss of the season

“Not every victory you get is going to be pretty, but a win is a win. It’s a good win for us in the freezing cold and I’m just glad we got the ‘W.’”

DE TREVOR PRYCE

On Denver LB Ian Gold breaking up a pass on a Washington two-point conversion attempt that would have tied the score late in the game

“The two-point conversion is a tough play to make. You need to have God on your side. Luckily we had [LB Ian] Gold on our side. It was a great play on his part because the receiver was wide open.”

Last year, he joined the exclusive club of head coaches to post 100 wins in his first 10 seasons with one club, finishing the campaign and decade tied for fourth on this ultra-impressive list. The group that Mike Shanahan joined is listed below:

years in which he firmly established himself among the game’s sideline greats.

PATRIOTS HEAD COACH BILL BELICHICK

Bill Belichick is in his 31st season as an NFL coach and is the only head coach in league history to win three Super Bowl championships in a four-year span. Hired by Patriots owner Robert Kraft on Jan. 27, 2000, Belichick is in his sixth season as Patriots head coach and last season moved ahead of Vince Lombardi to claim the best postseason record in NFL history (10-1). He is the winningest head coach in the league over the last four seasons, a period during which his teams have delivered three Super Bowl championships.

Since 1986, Belichick’s contributions as an assistant coach and as a head coach have led to five Super Bowl titles, six conference championships and eight division titles. Over the last two seasons, Belichick has directed the Patriots through the most prosperous two-year period in NFL history, netting back-to-back Super Bowl victories and consecutive 17-2 campaigns.

Now entering his 31st season as an NFL coach, Belichick has spent more seasons in the league than any other NFL head coach and is one of just two coaches in league history (George Seifert) to win multiple Super Bowls as a head coach and as an assistant coach. He launched his career in 1975 as a special assistant with the Baltimore Colts, then became an assistant special teams coach with Detroit (1976-77) and was on Denver’s staff in 1978. In 1979, he joined the New York Giants and contributed to Super Bowl championships with the team in 1986 and 1990 as the team’s defensive coordinator. Following Super Bowl XXV, Belichick was named head coach of the Cleveland Browns in 1991, becoming the youngest head coach in the NFL at age 37. In 1996, Belichick joined New England and helped the team go 11-5 en route to Super Bowl XXXI against Green Bay. Belichick then spent three seasons with the New York Jets from 1997 to 1999, helping New York advance to the AFC Championship Game.

Belichick was a center/tight end at Wesleyan from 1971-74. He was born April 16, 1952, Nashville.

In addition, Lelie started the “Big Catches” program that donates $1,800 from Lelie and his fellow wide receivers each time one of the players scores a rushing or receiving touchdown this season. Big Catches was designed so others can also make a similar pledge for each touchdown. For more information about the Big Catches program visit www.bigcatches.com.

During World War II, the 1st amassed almost 1,200 combat air patrol, bombing, strafing and escort missions. It was during this era, the squadron adopted its world-renowned emblem, “Miss Fury.”

DENVER O-LINE PROVIDING PASS PROTECTION

The Broncos’ offensive line, renowned for its ability to clear the way for a dominant rushing attack, also has proven to be equally adept in pass protection during the last two seasons. Denver, which set a franchise record in 2004 by allowing only 15 sacks, has given up the third fewest sacks (48) in the NFL since 2003.

BAILEY MAKING A BIG DIFFERENCE

Cornerback Champ Bailey launched the Broncos’ comeback from an 11-point halftime deficit against San Diego on Sept. 18 by intercepting Charger quarterback Drew Brees on the first play of the second half and returning the turnover 25 yards for a touchdown.

Coupled with his interception in the season opener at Miami on Sept. 11, Bailey intercepted a pass in consecutive games for the fourth time in his career. Additionally, the game-changing play marked his third career touchdown.

BRONCOS STINGY VS. THE RUN AT HOME

The Broncos’ run defense in home games played since 1995 has proven to be the toughest in the NFL, allowing the fewest yards per game during that period. In the 83 contests it has played at home since 1995, Denver is allowing an average of only 87.4 rushing yards per game.

TOP HOME RUSHING DEFENSES SINCE 1995 Team Home Games Opp. Rush Yds. Opp. Rush Avg. 1. Denver 83 7,251 87.4 2. Pittsburgh 82 7,335 89.5 3. Tennessee 82 7,433 90.6 4. San Francisco 83 7,748 93.3 5. Miami 82 7,945 96.9

BRONCOS ADEPT AT RUNNING AND STOPPING THE RUN

The combination of Denver’s running game and its run defense have yielded the best rushing differential in the NFL since 1995.

Denver owns a 42.7 run differential since 1995, tops in the league during that period. That number takes Denver’s rushing offense (140.8 ypg.) since 1995 and subtracts its rushing defense (98.1 ypg.) from that total.

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 88-12 (.880) in games in which they led after three quarters, including 3-0 in 2005.

The Denver Broncos opened up the 2005 season with a 34-10loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at Dolphins Stadium. Theloss snaps the Broncos' four-game winning streak in season open-ers, which was the longest current streak in the NFL.

Most of the Broncos’ offense was generated through the air asthe running game struggled to find a rhythm. Wide receiver RodSmith posted seven catches for 90 yards, and fullback KyleJohnson scored Denver's lone touchdown in the contest.Quarterback Jake Plummer was 22 for 48 and 251 yards. He threwone touchdown pass and two interceptions in the game.
