NFL.COM notes that Jake Plummer had a rough start in his home debut as a Bronco in last night's game against the Colts:
Denver quarterback got the playing hard part right, but that didn't stop him from being booed in his first home game with the Broncos.Plummer fumbled his first snap, threw a pass that Colts linebacker Gary Brackett should have intercepted, and missed a wide-open Ed McCaffrey on what would have been an 18-yard touchdown. And that was just on the first drive.
"I don't think he was nervous," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said. "I just think he was like everybody else -- looking forward to playing the game."
Plummer was much better on Denver's second drive, thanks to Ashley Lelie.
Plummer rolled out on the first play of the series, thought about running, then pulled up for a pass at the last second. Lelie adjusted to the slightly underthrown ball and made a leaping grab over Mike Doss for a 55-yard touchdown.
But that was about it for Plummer.
