Things didn’t turn out the way we wanted for the Denver Broncos last week as they fell 19-16 in overtime to the Los Angeles Chargers. While the focus is on the inept and increasingly frustrating offense, Denver’s defense is quietly performing at an insane level despite the injury bug rearing its ugly head all season long.
On such guy who came in to start for the Broncos after an injury to Josey Jewell provided an opportunity is Alex Singleton. Against the Chargers, he was literally everywhere on the field. He piled up 21 combined tackles (4th most in NFL history) and 19 solo tackles (2nd most in NFL history).
