Following the Giants’ heartbreaking 33-32 defeat to the Broncos on Sunday, linebacker Brian Burns was visibly upset, as captured in a video shared by The Athletic.
Burns, who was seen leaving the field in Denver with clenched fists, was clearly frustrated. His emotions boiled over after the Broncos mounted an impressive comeback, scoring 33 points in the fourth quarter.
While the exact words Burns used remain unclear, he was overheard using explicit language and expressing his anger about “stupid ass s–t” as he made his way to the Giants’ locker room, accompanied by backup quarterback Russell Wilson.

Burns, a standout performer and team captain, was particularly irritated by the Giants’ strategic choice to drop eight players into coverage during the final drive. This decision allowed Denver’s quarterback, Bo Nix, to find time and space to make crucial throws without facing significant pressure.
