DENVER (AP) -Rookie quarterback Jay Cutler will be the Denver Broncos' starter against the Seattle Seahawks next weekend. Coach Mike Shanahan said Monday he has benched veteran Jake Plummer, who compiled lackluster numbers and led back-to-back losses to San Diego and Kansas City. Cutler, the 11th pick out of Vanderbilt in the April draft, hasn't taken a snap since the preseason. But his preseason passer rating was 108.3, best in the league, and Shanahan hopes the change can ignite the Broncos' struggli |

A season-long slump that culminated with back-to-back losses to San Diego and Kansas City in a four-day span finally might have cost Plummer his starting job in Denver, where John Elway set the championship standard that has yet to be matched in the seven seasons since he retired with two Super Bo |
