What happened: Alex Singleton was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Month for October following a dominant stretch for Denver's defense. The eighth-year linebacker out of Montana State previously was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week after recording 19 tackles in late October.

Why it matters: Singleton's production has anchored a Denver unit that recently secured a 28-24 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 1. His consistency in the middle of the field continues to drive Denver's defensive identity midway through the 2026 regular season.

What to watch: The Broncos continue their regular season push as Singleton looks to sustain his tackling pace across the second half of the schedule.
