Alex Singleton not pushing panic button over Broncos’ slow start on defense: “We’re just still coming together” Washington’s first possession of the second half Sunday lasted just five plays, but it showed a bit of several different problems the Broncos defense has encountered early on this season.When quarterback Sam Howell had nowhere to go with the ball on third-and-10, Randy Gregory flashed up the middle but couldn’t get home. Howell escaped, caught Jonathon Cooper committing too far to the middle and bent toward the sideline. Then one of Denver’s surest tacklers, Alex Singleton, took a rare bad angle and could only dive at Howell’s feet as he scampered for 11 and a first down.To compound matters, Fabian Moreau got called for holding in the secondary — one of 12 penalties on the Broncos defense already through two games — tacking on five more yards.Then Brian Robinson powered up the middle for 11 yards. From the left hash, Washington’s offensive line washed both of Denver’s down defensive linemen plus Gregory past the right hash mark by the time Robinson scampered by and dragged Jos...
