Cody Barton’s big performance against New Orleans was six days ago now. It’s never too late to be celebrated, though. The Broncos inside linebacker on Wednesday was named the AFC’s defensive player of the week for Week 7 after he dominated against the Saints last Thursday. Barton, signed in March to a one-year deal as a free agent, returned a Spencer Rattler fumble 52 yards for a touchdown in Denver’s 33-10 win.
