New York Giants linebacker Brian Burns had two sacks in the team’s devastating loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday and expressed frustration with the plays late in the game.
Broncos quarterback Bo Nix led a drive that ended with a game-winning field goal by Will Lutz as the team came back from a 19-point deficit to win the game 33–32.

After the game, Underdog’s James Palmer posted a video showing Burns talking loudly about the defensive scheme on the Broncos’ final drive.
“Oh my God, brother,” Burns said. “Stupid im—–. Going down eight in coverage.”
The Giants only rushed the passer with three defenders as Nix threw the ball to Marvin Mims Jr. and Courtland Sutton. New York had been able to hinder Nix for most of the game until the final 14 minutes.
While Burns calmed down in the locker room, he took it upon himself to help improve the defense.

“I had some misses and some misses…I just didn’t execute well enough…they put us in a position where we could have won and we could have taken the game, but we gave it back to them,” Burns told reporters, via the New York Post.
“Dabe (Giants head coach Brian Daboll) will take the blame and Dabe will take the blame and this and that. At the end of the day, we’re playing and we have to make that play.”
Burns is putting together one of the best seasons of his career through seven games. He leads the NFL with nine sacks (career high 12.5).

New York fell to 2-5 with the loss to Denver, but could very well be a playoff contender if the team had wrapped up some loose ends in some of its losses.
