AFC Defensive Player of the Week. Honestly, the past few weeks have perhaps been the best I've seen Alex Singleton play as a Bronco. 19 tackles, three QB pressures, and a sack is quite worthy of Conference honors. Keep it up this week against the Chiefs!

Unlike the NFL world, Bo Nix is not trying to panic over his performance and statistical output over the first six weeks. He said his focus is on "peaking" at the right time: January/February. That being said, Nix knows it might only take on big breakout-type game to fully clear the cobwebs and be off and running. Remember in October of 2018 when Von Miller hyped a road game against the Cardinals, saying "We're gonna kick their ass?" I kinda have a feeling that Sean Payton, Nix, and the #Broncos are quietly looking to make a similar statement this week in the desert — minus the public declaration.

Spare me. Bo Nix is still slumping, but to say his play is "almost disrespectful" — Bro, the #Broncos went 4-2 with the toughest six-game gauntlet I've ever seen a team get served to start a season. Without Bo, you don't storm back to beat Jacksonville or the Rams, and I would argue you don't win tonight without him. You think Jarrett Stidham has the mettle to win those big-time games against top-tier defenses? Sam Ehlinger? PLEASE. Bo HAS TO improve. This is not a sustainable model. But this team sits at 4-2 and now gets a mini-bye. There's plenty of time to fix it. Calm down, Ryan Fitzpatrick.
