DENVER at pittsburgh SUNDAY, nov. 5, 2006 1 BRONCOS VISIT PITTSBURGH IN REMATCH OF LAST SEASON’S AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME The Denver Broncos (5-2) play the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers (2-5) on Sunday for the first time since hosting them in the AFC Championship Game last year. Kickoff at Heinz Field is sched- uled for 4:15 p.m. EST, and the game will be televised by CBS. Denver, which will play its 700th regular-season game on Sunday, is coming off a 34-31 loss against the Colts on Oct. 29. The Broncos scored touchdowns on all four trips inside the red zone against the Colts, but Adam Vinatieri’s 37-yard field goal with 2 seconds remain- ing preserved Indianapolis’ unbeaten record and snapped Denver’s NFL-best 13-game regular-season home winning streak. Pittsburgh returns home following a 20-13 loss to the Raiders in Oakland last week. The Steelers limited the Raiders to 98 total yards of offense (2.0 per play) but committed four turnovers, including two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns. Sunday’s game in Pittsburgh marks the first regular-season game between the Broncos and Steelers since 2003 when Denver earned a 17-14 home win. Two of the last three meetings between the clubs have occurred in the AFC Championship Game. The Steelers’ 34-17 win in Denver last year propelled them to a win in Super Bowl XL while Denver’s 24-21 win at Pittsburgh during the 1997 season cleared the way for their victory in Super Bowl XXXII. The Broncos have won their last eight games against a Super Bowl participant from the previous year and look to continue that success against the Steelers, who join Denver as one of the NFL’s top rushing teams in recent years. Denver (26,109 yds.) and Pittsburgh (24,745 yds.) rank first and second, respectively, in the NFL in rushing yards since 1995. Denver enters Sunday’s game having surrendered an NFL-low five touchdowns while ranking second in the league in scoring defense (11.1 ppg.) and opponent red zone TD percentage (27.8%).

HEAD COACH MIKE SHANAHAN TRANSCRIPTMONDAY, OCT. 30, 2006, PRESS CONFERENCE

On if he was impressed with how the offense matched up withIndianapolis yesterday

"We thought it might turn out that way, but you're never really surewith how a game will turn out. I was really pleased. I thought that theoffense played extremely hard and we moved the ball quite well. I wasquite disappointed when we had a chance to put it away there in thefourth quarter and we didn't do it and had to settle for that field goal."

On the status of RB Tatum Bell"He is still pretty sore. Very similar to what it was last week and we

are just going to wait and see how he does during the week."

On if he feels that RB Tatum Bell would benefit from sitting out fora couple of weeks

"I'm sure he would be a lot better if he sat down for a couple ofweeks. Everybody would be a lot better if they sat out for a couple ofweeks, but everybody is sore this time of the year and everybody istired. Everybody is hurting a little bit, so if he is injured he won't play,if he is hurting he will do his best to play."

On if it is more difficult to get over a game like last week againstIndianapolis because of the conference rivalry

"What I think is tough is that we had the opportunity to win the foot-ball game and put it away and we didn't do it. Anytime you play oneof the top teams in the AFC you always want to win especially in yourbackyard. Other than that, it is a long season and it's a sixteen weekfight and there is a lot left. We are not even at the midway point rightnow. You have to look at why you didn't win, look at the good thingsand important things, and then hopefully build on the things that areimportant and build on the same situation and hopefully take advan-tage of it."

On if the Colts' first two drives of the second half changed themomentum of the game

"There were eight drives in the game so you can go through eachdrive and talk about how important it was. Every drive is important.Obviously the last drive was the most important for us because wehad a chance to put it away at the end and we didn't do it on offense.Sometimes you are going to have games like that where you have tofind a way to put more points on the scoreboard than the opposition.We had a chance to do it and didn't do it."

On why it is so hard to put pressure on Indianapolis QB PeytonManning

"I thought that their offensive line did a very good job. They playedvery well and as you mentioned Peyton (Manning) does a very goodjob at picking up on blitzes and running quick screens, but even withall of that we had a chance to - we played pretty well in the first half.We held them to six points. Even though we gave up some yards wekept the ball out of the end zone and we didn't do that in the secondhalf. In order to do that you have to be flawless in your zone drop andyou have to put pressure on the quarterback when you do get theone-on-one and you have to tackle well. We were missing tackles outthere and to beat a good offensive team you have to do all of thosethings and we didn't do that."

12— —DENVER at pittsburgh SUNDAY, nov. 5, 2006

On if he agreed with the call on QB Jake Plummer's fumble"It was a fumble. He landed on somebody and obviously his legs

weren't down so it was a correct call."

On how he feels that CB Darrent Williams played against Indy"I thought that Darrent - you know he is a good corner and most

people do not understand that in zone coverage a guy has to be deepin the field and what he has to do is make those tackles. We had amiscommunication on one of those touchdown passes. He was run-ning a different coverage- but all in all Darrent played a pretty goodgame."

On why the bootleg was so effective with Plummer yesterday "If you have the cut back then you can start running the football and

Mike Bell did a good job cutting the ball back and once you start cut-ting the ball back it opens up the quarterback keeps. The quarterbackkeeps and the running game go hand-in-hand. Sometimes it will bethere and sometimes it won't."

On how he feels rookie RB Mike Bell played yesterday"It is nice to see a guy step up, especially a young guy. When your

starter goes down in the first half and Tatum (Bell) was hurting athalftime and Mike took advantage of an opportunity and played quitewell."

On if it is more impressive that RB Mike Bell stepped up being arookie

"He gets quite a few reps; he has gotten quite a few since he hasbeen here. We only have so many running backs so we switch offquite evenly through practice and you just like to see a guy takeadvantage of an opportunity once he gets it. He ran well, he blockedwell, and he played a good game."

On whether or not RB Mike Bell would be back in the mix if RBTatum Bell was not hurt

"I guess we might as well start that controversy and get away fromthe quarterbacks. By the way Jake (Plummer) is our quarterback thisweek."

On how Erik Pears performed in his first start at left tackle"I thought Erik did a good job. Trying to block (Indianapolis DE)

Dwight Freeney in your first game, it's pretty tough to do that."

On whether he had further updates on any other injuries"No, I really don't right now. I don't think anybody will be out. A few

guys are bruised up like they normally are, but I don't think anybodywill be listed as questionable."

On whether the defense didn't execute or Indianapolis QB PeytonManning just had an excellent day

"I think I just shared that with you, but I'll repeat it again. You've gotto get a little more pressure on the quarterback with a guy like Peyton.Our zone drops were a little bit - you've got to be very consistent, andwe weren't as consistent as we normally are. Then, you've got to

tackle a little better. We played very well in the first half. Even thoughthey got some yards, we kept them out of the end zone. Six points ispretty good against a team like that. Then we didn't play quite as wellin the second half. You've got to look at yourself and hopefully cor-rect those mistakes so next time we take advantage of the opportuni-ty. But with all that said, we still had a chance to put it away there withtwo minutes left on offense."

On the decision to blitz sparingly"There are so many factors. We did blitz a few times during the

game. There are a lot of factors involved. We've been pretty goodplaying just base defense this year. That's the reason why we playeda lot of zone defense, because we've been pretty good at it. We playedpretty well in the first half."

On whether he hoped to get better pressure out of the basedefense

"Yeah, you've got to get it out of your base if you're going to be agreat defense. We didn't have the push up front that we normallyhave. A guy like Gerard (Warren) has been really good pushing to theinside. We did have some good pressure outside, but Peyton did agood job stepping up into the pocket. Where we did have push in thepast, we didn't quite have the push with Gerard not being in there. Forus to be successful against a guy like that, you have to have push upfront and pressure to the outside. Going with four people, we didn'tquite have that type of push."

On facing five road games in the next seven weeks"I'll be honest with you, I don't even look at that. I just know we've

got eight home games and eight away games. Everybody's got thesame schedule. We're getting ready for Pittsburgh as a coaching staffright now. I don't really look beyond that, and I don't think our teamdoes, either. You can't think about (having) two or three road games.It all averages out, and you've got to find a way to win games on theroad."

On rookie WR Brian Clark's debut as kick returner"He played well. He didn't have a lot of opportunities. Both kickers

obviously kicked the ball quite well - a lot of touchbacks. But when hedid have his opportunities, he took advantage of them."

On why he promoted Clark to the active roster"Number one, Green Bay tried to sign him. I really like Brian Clark

as a receiver. I like him as a return guy. I thought we might be able tohide him for a little bit. Then once Green Bay tried to steal him, I did-n't want him to go, so I told him, 'Hey, we're going to put you up onour team, make you active, and you're going to be the kickoff return-er."

On the Pittsburgh Steelers"I haven't had a chance to look at Pittsburgh. All you have to do is

take a look at a team that gave up 98 yards and lost the game. They'reranked second in the NFL in defense, second in yards per play. Thatkind of says it all."

BAILEY MAKING A BIG DIFFERENCESix-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time All-Pro cornerback

Champ Bailey has made several game-changing interceptions sincejoining the Broncos in 2004 from the Washington Redskins. In eachof Denver’s last two games, Bailey has posted an interception withless than two minutes remaining in the first half with a Broncosopponent driving for a potential score.

Dumervil’s five sacks in two consecutive games (3 at Cle.10/122, 2 vs. Oak. 10/15) marked the most sacks in a two-gameperiod by a rookie since the Bengals’ Justin Smith had five intwo games as a rookie in 2001. He ranks second in sacks among NFLrookies this year (Mark Anderson, Chi., 7.5).

Dumervil also had two sacks in Denver’s 13-3 win against Oaklandon Oct. 15 and has a total of five sacks in his four games played thisyear. Dumervil was inactive for the Broncos’ first three games of theyear before making his NFL debut against Baltimore on Oct. 9 onMonday Night Football.

Despite playing only four games this year, Dumervil’s five sackstie for the seventh-highest total by a Denver rookie.

24— —DENVER at pittsburgh SUNDAY, nov. 5, 2006

Mike Shanahan in 2006 begins his 12th season as head coachof the Denver Broncos, and his first decade of measurement

against the game's all-time coaches places him among the pro foot-ball elite.

In the 86-year history of professional football, there are just fourcoaches who have spent at least 10 seasons with one team and inthat period have had more world championship seasons than los-ing campaigns.

That list includes only Paul Brown with Cleveland (17 seasons,three championships, one losing season, Hall of Fame member),Joe Gibbs with Washington (14 seasons, three championships, twolosing seasons, Hall of Fame member), John Madden with Oakland(10 seasons, one championship, no losing seasons, Hall of Famemember), and Mike Shanahan with the Broncos (11 seasons, twochampionships, one losing season).

Under Shanahan's superb guidance, the Broncos have had stag-gering team accomplishments, including: Posting the most wins inpro football history in a two-year period, seasons in which the clubwon back-to-back Super Bowls (33 in 1997-98; New England hassince won 34 in 2003-04); Posting the most wins in pro footballhistory in a three-year period (46 in 1998); Winning 18 consecutivegames over 1997-98 to tie the all-time NFL record at that time forconsecutive wins; And going undefeated for three consecutive reg-

ular seasons (1996-98) at home, just the second team ever to beundefeated and untied at home in three consecutive years.

During his first 11 seasons as the Broncos’ head coach (1995-2005), the Broncos led the NFL in scoring (25.2 ppg., 4,440 points),rushing yards (25,022, 142.2 per game) and total offense (64,235yards, 365.0 per game).

In 2004, he joined the exclusive club of head coaches to post 100wins in his first 10 seasons with one club, finishing the campaignand decade tied for fourth on this ultra-impressive list of 12 coach-es, six of whom are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

He also has brought great stability to the Denver franchise withhis 12 years with the club ranking as the third-longest tenure by anactive coach with his current team (trailing only Bill Cowher ofPittsburgh and Jeff Fisher of Tennessee).

No head coach in the NFL won more games than MikeShanahan's 122 victories from 1995-2005, and his Broncos comeinto 2006 determined to return to Super Bowl contention—both ofthose qualities are directly attributable to leadership by arguably thefinest head coach and most fertile football mind in the game today.

Those 122 wins by Shanahan included seven consecutive in theplayoffs (he is the only coach to have produced seven playoff winsin two years) during the 1997 and 1998 Super Bowl seasons, yearsin which he established himself among the game's sideline greats.His postseason winning percentage is .615 on an 8-5 record.

Shanahan elevated his career and the Broncos to new levels in1997 and 1998 as the intense and personable Denver Broncos headcoach made his mark on Super Bowl history, coming into the 2006campaign as one of only 12 all-time National Football League headcoaches with two Super Bowl victories.

Over the last 14 years (11 in Denver and the previous three in SanFrancisco), Mike Shanahan's offenses have finished number one inthe NFL four times, second twice, third three times and fourth once;in two of those campaigns Denver was just 17 and 83 yards shortof the number one spot.

During his NFL career, Shanahan has been a part of teams thathave played in 10 AFC or NFC Championship Games, in addition tohis six Super Bowl appearances, five with Denver and the SuperBowl IX game with San Francisco. In his nine seasons coaching atthe collegiate level, Shanahan's teams participated in eight bowlgames, winning two national championships.

FORMER BROWNS LINEMEN MAKE KEY IMPACT IN DENVER

The Broncos’ entire starting defensive line is made up of playerswho were on the Cleveland Browns’ roster at some point in the lasttwo years, and the team’s current line features a total of six playerswho joined the club from Cleveland during that time.

Starting defensive ends Kenard Lang and Ebenezer Ekuban alongwith starting defensive tackles Michael Myers and Gerard Warrenhave helped Denver field a defense that has achieved numerous dis-tinctions in 2006, including:

* - Becoming the first defense since 1934 to allow one touch-down or fewer through the first five games of a season.* - Becoming one of two teams since 1940 to allow only onetouchdown through the first four games of the year.* - Becoming the first unit since 1942 to not allow a touchdownfor the first 11 quarters of a season.* - Allowing only two touchdowns in their opponents’ first 68possessions.

In 2005, Denver’s line included three primary starters whom theclub acquired from Cleveland during the offseason in defensive endCourtney Brown (14 GP/13 GS) and defensive tackles MichaelMyers (16/15) and Gerard Warren (16/16). Defensive end EbenezerEkuban (16/4) also was a key contributor on the 2005 Broncosdefense that ranked second in the NFL against the run (85.2 ypg.)and helped the club advance to the AFC Championship Game.

O-LINE PROVIDING PASS PROTECTIONThe Broncos' offensive line, renowned for its ability to clear the

way for a dominant rushing attack, also has proven to be equallyadept in pass protection during the last four seasons. Denver, whichset a franchise record in 2004 by allowing only 15 sacks, has givenup the third-fewest sacks (73 for 461 yds.) in the NFL since 2003.

HOLD IT RIGHT THEREWhen John Elway was ruling the roost in Denver, comebacks were

often times the only thing people talked about. But since HeadCoach Mike Shanahan took over the reigns in 1995, the Broncoshave learned to not allow the opponents to come back on them. InShanahan's tenure, the Broncos are 100-14 (.878) in games inwhich they led after three quarters, including 12-1 in 2005 and 3-1in 2006.

The Denver Broncos opened the 2006 season with an 18-10 lossto the St. Louis Rams Sunday afternoon at the Edward JonesDome in front of 65,577 fans. Running back Tatum Bell rushed for103 yards on 15 carries. Wide receiver Javon Walker made his reg-ular season Broncos debut with three catches for 41yards.

Tatum Bell’s fifth career 100-yard performance was the eighthsuch performance on opening day in team history and it ranks asthe fifth-most yards among those outings.

The Rams scored on their first drive of the game after movingthe ball 69 yards on 15 plays. Kicker Jeff Wilkins connected on a26-yard field goal giving St. Louis the lead, 3-0.

On the next Denver offensive series, running back Tatum Bellfumbled the ball on the Denver 34 and St. Louis linebacker WillWitherspoon recovered the ball for no gain. The Rams took advan-tage of the turnover scoring on Wilkins’ 38-yard field goal, takinga 6-0 lead with 13:27 in the second quarter.

The Broncos luck did not change on their next drive when quar-terback Jake Plummer's pass was intercepted by rookie corner-back Tye Hill at the Denver 31. Hill ran the ball back 14 yards to theDenver 17. The Broncos was stern again, forcing the Rams to set-tle for a field goal and a 9-0 lead with 10:28 remaining.

After a scoreless Broncos drive, Rams quarterback Marc Bulgerled the team down field on a 6 play, 38-yard scoring drive. Wilkinsmade a 51-yard field goal to increase the lead to 12-0.

Denver responded before the half with an 11-play, 79-yard scor-ing drive. Rookie running back Mike Bell tallied the Broncos’ firstpoints of the game with a 1-yard touchdown dive, bringing theBroncos within five, 12-7, with 29 seconds remaining in the half.

However, St. Louis converted the opening possession of thesecond half with Wilkins’ fifth field goal of the day, a 48-yard effort,making the score 15-7.

With 2:26 remaining in the third quarter, the Broncos pulledwithin 15-10 when kicker Jason Elam connected on a 49-yard fieldgoal 36 seconds into the final frame.

The Denver defense held the Rams to a three-and-out, regainingpossession with 12:46 left. A 36-yard run by Mike Bell movedDenver to St. Louis’ 37-yard line. On the next play, Plummer threwhis second interception of the game as safety Corey Chavousreturned the ball 17 yards to the Rams’ 24-yard line. Once again,the Broncos defense limited St. Louis to a field, keeping the visi-tors within one possession at 18-10.

Denver moved its ensuing possession to the Rams’ 28-yard line,but a tipped interception at the 20-yard line ended the drive. St.Louis ran the remaining time off the clock to secure the victory.

The Denver Broncos earned a 17-7 win against the ClevelandBrowns on Sunday in front of 73,024 fans at Cleveland BrownsStadium. Wide receiver Rod Smith accumulated 69 receiving yardsto move atop of the Broncos' list for combined yards moving aheadof Floyd Little (12,173 yds.), who held the mark for over twodecades.

Running back Tatum Bell led the team in rushing with 24 attemptsfor 115 yards and a touchdown run. Javon Walker paced thereceivers with nine receptions for 107 yards.

In addition to capping the Browns to seven points, the Broncosdefense limited the Browns to just 34 rushing yards on 13 attempts.

After a scoreless first quarter, Denver opened the game’s scoringwhen Jake Plummer led the team on a 10-play, 85-yard drive endingwith Jason Elam’s 32-yard field goal to open a 3-0 lead.

Just after the two-minute warning the Broncos attacked again,this time with a nine-yard Tatum Bell touchdown run increasing thelead to 10-0.

Cleveland was stopped quickly on their next offensive series bythe Broncos tenacious defense. Al Wilson stripped the ball from RBReuben Droughns, allowing rookie defensive lineman, ElvisDumervil, to recover the ball at Cleveland’s 28-yard line. Denver wentto the locker room with a 10-0 lead.

Denver’s offense started the second half with a nine-play, 56-yarddrive culminating in the first professional touchdown for rookie widereceiver Brandon Marshall’s first touchdown. Plummer foundMarshall in the front of the end zone to open a 17-0 lead nearly sixminutes into the third quarter.

Denver’s defense thwarted a scoring threat when Champ Baileyintercepted his third pass in as many games. He returned it 30 yardsto the Broncos’ 26-yard line.

The Broncos offense could not capitalize on the turnover asCleveland’s defense intercepted a pass and returned it to Denver’s18-yard line. The ensuing possession resulted in just the secondtouchdown yielded by the Broncos defense, a six-yard connectionfrom Frye to WR Joe Jurevicius.

Dumervil recorded three sacks in the game, equaling the fran-chise’s single-game rookie mark set by Rulon Jones on Dec. 14,1980 against Oakland. Dumervil, who recorded two sacks last weekagainst Oakland, has five sacks in the last two games, making himthe first rookie since Justin Smith (2001) to record that feat.

The Broncos controlled the clock for the balance of the final frame,posting their fifth-straight win overall and fourth consecutive win by10 points.

He recorded a solo tackle and a pass defensed against the Patriots. He compiled six tackles and three passes defensed, including an interception on Monday Night Football vs. Bal. (10/9). His interception of a pass from Ravens QB Steve McNair to WR Clarence Moore late in the first half thwarted a scoring threat which could have broken a 3-3 tie.

In addition to contributing six tackles (4 solo), he provided a pivotal play when he intercepted QB Andrew Walter deep in Broncos territory on Sunday Night Football vs. Oak. (10/15). Late in the second quarter, he intercepted Walter’s pass intended for WR Randy Moss at Denver’s 1-yard line. The interception kept the number of touchdowns yielded this season to one, allowing the team to join the 1934 Detroit Lions as the only teams to allow only one touchdown through the first five games. He recorded a pair of solo tackles, three passes defensed, including an interception at Cle. (10/22). He returned the interception 30 yards against the Browns, marking his first return yards of the season.
