NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Former Utah linebacker Cody Barton gave the Titans an early advantage in week 10 with the first pick-six of his career.

It was also Barton’s third interception of the season, which ties him for third in the NFL.

Last year, Barton had his first NFL touchdown. It was on a weird play in the backfield that was originally called as an interception, but later ruled as a fumble recovery.

Now, in week 10 of 2025, he leaves no doubt in his first year with Tennessee.

On the next drive, Justin Herbert and the Chargers offense made up for the mistake, quickly tying the game at 7-7.
