Broncos' Alex Singleton Continues Impressive Run With 33 Tackles, Two Sacks

The Denver Broncos have received plenty of attention for their dramatic comeback victories this season.

But linebacker Alex Singleton is putting together a remarkable stretch of production.

Singleton recorded 14 tackles and a sack in Sunday's 28-24 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, giving him 33 tackles and two sacks over Denver's last two games.

The 32-year-old linebacker has now accumulated 101 tackles through eight games, averaging more than 12 per contest.

His latest performance came just four days after he was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his dominant showing against the Arizona Cardinals.

Singleton recorded 19 tackles, including 12 solo stops, and a sack in Denver's 30-16 victory over Arizona on October 25.

According to the Broncos' official announcement, his 19 tackles were the most by any NFL player in a game this season.

That performance earned Singleton the first weekly defensive honor of his NFL career.

As Roundtable previously reported following his award, Singleton has become one of the most productive players on Denver's defense.

But his performance against Kansas City demonstrated that his impact extends beyond accumulating tackles.

With the Chiefs leading 24-21 late in the fourth quarter, Singleton sacked Patrick Mahomes for a 6-yard loss on third down.

The play pushed Kansas City back to Denver's 36-yard line and forced Harrison Butker to attempt a 54-yard field goal.

Butker missed, giving Denver possession with 2:31 remaining.

Quarterback Bo Nix subsequently led the Broncos downfield, setting up rookie Jonah Coleman's go-ahead touchdown run with 1:56 left.

Denver's defense then preserved the victory with a dramatic goal-line stand, highlighted by JL Skinner's crucial third-down tackle and Malcolm Roach's game-ending sack.

Singleton's recent production is particularly encouraging after injuries and a cancer diagnosis disrupted his previous two seasons.

The veteran linebacker has responded by becoming a central figure in a Denver defense that has helped the team win four consecutive games.

With 101 tackles already on the season, Singleton is approaching his career-best total of 177, established in 2023.

For a Broncos team sitting atop the AFC West at 6-2, his consistency has become one of the defense's most valuable assets.
