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

After the game, Underdog’s James Palmer posted a video showing Burns speaking out loud about the defensive scheme during the Broncos’ final drive.
“Oh my fucking God, man,” Burns said. “Stupid a– s—. I lose 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 managed to thwart Nix for most of the game until the final 14 minutes.
As Burns cooled off in the locker room, he made it his responsibility to help improve the defense.

“I had a few fouls and a few misses…I just didn’t execute well enough…we were put in a position where we could have won and we could have won the game, but we gave it back to them,” Burns told reporters, via the New York Post.
“Dabe (Giants head coach Brian Daboll) is going to take the blame and Dabe is going to do it, his fault and this and that. At the end of the day, we’re playing and we have to make this play.”
Burns is having 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 ironed out some loose ends from some of its losses.
