Alex Singleton says Broncos have ‘everything in front of us’ after bye

The Denver Broncos upset the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday and are now on a bye week. It was a crucial win for the Broncos that could prove to be a turning point in their 2023 season.

Following the 24-9 win over Kansas City, Denver is now 3-5. It will be an uphill climb to get back into the playoff hunt, but it feels more feasible after defeating the Chiefs in convincing fashion.

“It builds momentum,” linebacker Alex Singleton said after Sunday’s upset win. “I think going into this week — you’re going into a bye week in the position we’re in — you win this game, we have everything in front of us. You lose it; you’re kind of out of luck. I think we all knew that and came out and played the game we did.”

A midseason bye might be perfect timing for the Broncos, who now have time to rest and recovery ahead of a big Monday Night Football showdown with the Buffalo Bills in Week 10.

“It’s huge,” Singleton said of the bye. “We get the nice, right in the middle of the season break, so [you can] get guys healed up and come back and keep this momentum. … Everybody enjoy it and come back and be ready to play the Bills.”

Singleton, 29, leads the team with 73 tackles through eight games this season. He also has three tackles behind the line, two pass breakups and one quarterback hit in 2023. After the bye, Singleton will look to build on those totals in the second half of the season.
