Briefs: Barrett makes impact for Broncos, Culbert earns honors

Next level Rams

Former CSU star Shaquil Barrett stole the show Sunday in the Denver Broncos’ win over the Cleveland Browns. The 2014 Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year got his first NFL start at linebacker in place of the injured DeMarcus Ware.

Barrett finished with nine tackles, second-most of all Broncos behind Danny Trevathan (10). In the third quarter, Barrett forced a fumble on a strip-sack of Cleveland quarterback Josh McCown, and recovered it himself to set up a Broncos field goal. In overtime, he combined with Malik Jackson on another sack. Barrett also defended one pass.
