Singleton earned a replacement-level 65.6 grade across a heavy 88-snap workload, spending 69 snaps at neutral. He flashed downhill power, registering an emphatic stop for no gain on outside zone (Q4 06:24) and generating a hit on Matthew Stafford as an A-gap blitzer (Q2 00:40). However, costly lapses against deception dragged his grade down, beginning when he bit on play-action to surrender a five-yard touchdown (Q1 05:00). He also severely over-pursued a stretch run to allow a 30-yard cutback gain (Q1 01:19) and bit on another fake that sparked a 49-yard reception (Q4 07:03).
