What happened: Denver Broncos inside linebacker Alex Singleton, who claimed the NFL tackles lead in October, added a sack to his 19 tackles in Sunday's 30-16 road victory to earn the Week 7 award. Now in his eighth NFL season out of Montana State, the veteran defender paced a unit that limited the opposition to 16 points.

Why it matters: The victory pushed Denver's winning streak to three games, improving the club to 5-2 and securing the No. 5 seed in the conference. Operating with under $5 million in cap space, the Broncos are unlikely to make major splashes and continue to lean on defensive continuity for their playoff push.

What to watch: Denver turns to its Week 8 matchup as front offices across the league approach the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
