Classic Wild West shootout @ Mile High. Jake Plummer (23-33-340-3TD) and Carson Palmer (19-30-358-5TD-2INT) were almost unstoppable. Chad Ochocinco had 9 grabs for 167 yards and 2 TD's. Chris Henry had 5 for 95 with 2 TD's. Rod Smith was 6-105-2TD for Denver. Runningbacks Rudi Johnson (21-94-TD) and Mike Anderson (17-97-TD) had almost identical days. It came down to Cincy not being able to protect a 4th quarter and Denver capitalizing. It almost didn't happen when mike Anderson fumbled the ball after going 26 yards on a short pass from Plumber. Lucky for Denver Rod Smith was alert enough to fall on it. He would be rewarded handsomely with a 13 yard TD grab on the next play. Cincy was driving until Palmer was picked off by Nick Ferguson. Denver milked the clock and settled for a FG to put it away.
