Broncos’ offensive coordinator, Gary Kubiak, sent a message to quarterback Jake Plummer this week. "I said, 'You have to raise your level of play this last month for our football team to get anywhere,"' Kubiak told the Denver Post. "I said, 'You have to play better."' Plummer agreed. "Yeah, we've got to make some more plays in the passing game," Plummer said Wednesday. "Obviously, Clinton (Portis) is running the ball well. We need him down the stretch, but we also need me and the line and the receivers to start making some plays to complement that. If we can do that we will be a complete package. But right now we've been heavy on the run. We just have to find ways to make plays in the passing game." Heading into Sunday's showdown vs. the Chiefs, Denver's pass offense is tied with the San Diego Chargers for 27th in the NFL - the lowest any Broncos passing attack has ranked in franchise history.

Plummer threw for only 105 yards against Oakland and 176 against the Bears the previous week. Of course, it doesn’t help when No. 2 wide receiver, Ashley Lelie, has only caught one pass in the last two games. The Snake needs to get his receivers more involved or defenses are going to start keying on stopping Portis again. And that won't make fantasy players very happy.
