QB Sorry for Giving Fan the Finger
DENVER (AP) - Denver quarterback Jake Plummer probably lost more than just his cool when he made an obscene gesture toward the stands.

The NFL is reviewing Plummer's actions under its long-standing policy that prohibits public displays of profanity, a review that will likely lead to a fine.
With the obscene finger gesture, Plummer didn't do himself many favors in a city that is already a little fed up with his performance this season.

He was a no-show in the locker room Monday, the day after a shaky 20-17 victory over lowly Miami that kept the Broncos (8-5) tied with Baltimore for the AFC's final wildcard spot.

Plummer threw two interceptions. After the first, he made an obscene gesture toward the stands, which was caught by TV cameras carrying the game on CBS.

He apologized Sunday, saying "One guy got into my head a little bit. It shouldn't be that way."

On Monday, his coach and teammates chimed in.

"I think Jake understands that this game is very tough on the quarterback," coach Mike Shanahan said. "You work your way through it. If you're mentally tough enough, you survive. If not, you acquiesce and you're gone."

There's nothing wrong with giving the finger if the fingeree deserves it.
