ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Denver linebacker Cody Barton won the AFC’s Defensive Player of the Week honor for his monster game in the Broncos’ 33-10 rout of the New Orleans Saints last week. But he said that he’s still bothered by the dropped interception that tainted an otherwise stellar game by the sixth-year pro who joined the Broncos as a free agent last summer. Barton recorded a half dozen solo stops among his eight tackles, had a sack, broke up a pass and scooped up a fumble that he returned 52 yards for a touchdown.
