Barton recorded four tackles (three solo) and an interception in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons. The inside linebacker also played on all 51 defensive snaps. Barton is up to 68 tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery on the year.
Barton recorded nine total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs. Barton played 100.0 percent of Denver's defensive snaps for the sixth time in the last seven games, tying Braxton Jones for the team's leading tackler in Sunday's defeat. Barton has now recorded 64 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and defended one pass through the Broncos' first 10 games this season. He's expected to continue making plays as the Broncos face the Falcons in Week 11.
Barton recorded seven total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens. The 27-year-old was the Broncos' second-leading tackler in Sunday's blowout loss, trailing just Devon Key's eight-stop performance. Barton has now accumulated 55 total tackles through Denver's first nine games this season, ranking second on the Broncos' defense in stops. Expect the Utah product to continue being one of the team's top tacklers ahead of Week 10's matchup against the Chiefs.
Barton logged eight tackles (six solo) and returned a fumble recovery 52 yards for a touchdown during Thursday's 33-10 win over the Saints. Barton logged his first sack of the season midway through the first quarter Thursday when he got to Spencer Rattler for a loss of seven yards. Barton had a 14-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown in the second quarter nullified due to a defensive offside penalty, but he was able to return a fumble for a 52-yard score in the fourth quarter to extend the Broncos' lead to 33-3 at the time. Barton has started at inside linebacker over the last four regular-season games after Alex Singleton underwent season-ending surgery to repair a torn ACL. Over that four-game span, Barton has played every single defensive snap and has accumulated 33 tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass breakup, one forced fumble and Thursday's fumble recovery for a touchdown.
Barton recorded eight tackles (one solo) in the Broncos' loss to the Chargers on Sunday. Making his third consecutive start with Alex Singleton (knee, IR) done for the year, Barton played 100 percent of the defensive snaps for the third straight contest. In his three weeks as a starter, Barton has recorded 25 tackles (12 solo) but has done little else in the box score.
Barton recorded 10 total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Jets. Barton stepped up and filled the role of the injured Alex Singleton (knee) during Sunday's win, posting double-digit stops en route to holding a high-powered Jets offense under 10 points. Without Singleton for the remainder of the year, Barton is expected to be the Broncos' top tackler and could become a valuable IDP piece moving forward.
Barton is set to take over a three-down role after fellow Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Buccaneers. Barton is also expected to take over relaying play calls to the rest of the defense, which was previously part of Singleton's responsibilities. Barton has 13 tackles (five solo) through three games, but he's well positioned to bolster his tackle totals moving forward.
Barton tallied seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers. Barton played just 21 defensive snaps in Week 1 against the Seahawks. He nearly doubled that total in Week 2 with 40 defensive snaps (along with 10 on special teams), and the 2019 third-round pick finished second on the Broncos in tackles Sunday behind fellow starting inside linebacker Alex Singleton. Barton has registered 100-plus tackles in each of the last two seasons, and he'll look to make it three years in a row as the Broncos travel to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers in Week 3.
Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette relays that Barton is battling Jonas Griffith for the starting inside linebacker job alongside Alex Singleton. Barton spent the first four years of his career in Seattle after the Seahawks drafted him in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He joined the Commanders for 2023, and across 13 regular-season games he recorded 121 tackles (67 solo), one pass defended, one interception and one fumble recovery. Barton signed a one-year deal with the Broncos in March, and while he has more experience and reps than Griffith, the two linebackers are expected to compete for a starting role in Denver's defense in training camp and in preseason games.
