Griese Still Looking For Success In Denver

DENVER (AP) ― Defeating Denver, not demons, tops Brian Griese's to-do list.

Tampa Bay's 33-year-old quarterback faces the Broncos for the first time in his career Sunday in a pivotal matchup of 3-1 teams. But he insists he long ago came to terms with his frustrating five years in Denver, where he never escaped the long shadow of John Elway.

To Broncos fans, Griese was the anti-Elway, the quarterback who made mistakes on the field and was aloof off it. He's remembered more for his headfirst fall on Terrell Davis' driveway, for spraining his ankle tripping over his dog and for publicly questioning the talent of his teammates.

But they also remember his Pro Bowl season, his charity work in the community that continues to this day, the way he played through pain, and how he was unceremoniously dumped for Jake Plummer.

Griese was 30-27 as the Broncos' starter and is 15-9 in starts since leaving Denver, including 8-1 in his last nine starts for the Buccaneers.
