New York Giants linebacker Brian Burns had two sacks in the team’s devastating loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday and expressed his frustrations with the play-calling at the end of the game.
Broncos quarterback Bo Nix led a drive that ended with a Will Lutz game-winning field goal as the team came back from 19 points down to win the game 33-32.

After the game, the Underdogs’ James Palmer posted a video showing Burns talking loudly about the defensive scheme on the Broncos’ final drive.
“Oh my god, bruh,” Burns said. “Stupid a– s—. Drops eight in coverage.”
The Giants only rushed the ball with three defenders as Nix threw the ball to Marvin Mims Jr. and Courtland Sutton. New York had been able to stymie Nix for most of the game until the final 14 minutes.
As Burns cooled off in the locker room, he took it upon himself to help make the defense better.

“I had some mistakes and some misses … just didn’t execute well enough … we got 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 .
“Dabes (Giants head coach Brian Daboll) is going to take the blame and Dabe is gonna, his fault and this and that. At the end of the day we play and we have to play it.”
Burns is putting together one of the best seasons of his career through seven games. He leads the NFL with nine sacks (his career high is 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 tied up some loose ends in some of their losses.
