Records INT in return Barrett recorded an interception during the Buccaneers' 31-15 wild-card win over the Eagles on Sunday.
Impact Barrett was relatively quiet overall while logging 31 snaps (47 percent) in his return from a two-game absence due to a knee sprain and COVID-19. The standout pass rusher did manage to snag a pick that led to a Mike Evans touchdown grab on the next play, however, and his ability to potentially handle a larger workload will be key in helping slow down a potent Rams offense in Sunday's divisional-round clash.
