Alex Singleton brushes off Broncos’ tackling: ‘We’re gonna be fine’

Alex Singleton, who led the Broncos with five missed tackles on Monday, brushed off the defense's tackling woes. "We're gonna be fine," he said.

The Denver Broncos suffered a poor tackling performance against the Kansas City Chiefs in their Monday night game. The team failed to make 28 tackles, which allowed the Chiefs to capitalize on several opportunities, including two touchdowns. Linebackers Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad were among the most affected, each missing multiple tackles.

Despite this alarming statistic, Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton remains optimistic about the team's performance in future games. Singleton stated in a postgame interview, "We're gonna be fine. We're gonna work on it this week, do what we need to do, and we're gonna be fine." While Singleton's confidence is reassuring, the data highlights a significant problem that the Broncos need to address.

The team's tackling issues this season have been a cause for concern, with their performance dropping to the worst since their 2023 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The defense, under the leadership of Vance Joseph, showed promising improvement after that game, and it remains to be seen if the Broncos can replicate that progress in their upcoming games.
