Cody Barton Shines Despite Broncos Loss to Chargers

The Denver Broncos faced a challenging matchup on Sunday, resulting in a defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite the team’s overall performance, linebacker Cody Barton emerged as a notable player on defense, recording eight tackles, with one being solo, during the game.

This game marked Barton’s third consecutive start following an unfortunate injury to teammate Alex Singleton. Singleton, who suffered a knee injury, has been placed on the injured reserve list for the remainder of the year, paving the way for Barton to step into a more prominent role.

In these recent weeks as a starter, Barton has been a constant presence on the field, playing every single defensive snap in the last three consecutive games. Over this period, he has accumulated an impressive 25 tackles, including 12 solo efforts, showcasing his capability and tenacity on the field.

While Barton has been effective in accumulating tackles, his contributions to other statistics on the box score have been limited thus far. However, his consistent defensive play has been crucial for the Broncos as they navigate through challenging times without Singleton.
