Brian Burns

Whenever rival quarterbacks are feeling the heat of a blitz or fierce pass rush against the Giants’ frontline, it’s likely that the source of all chaos, fittingly, stems from one man: Brian Burns. Having quite the rebuttal to New York’s heavy underdog status during Week 6’s primetime game, Burns kept the Eagles grounded through two different sacks — on 3rd & 7 and 3rd & 8 respectively — overwhelming Philadelphia’s star-studded offensive line throughout. The end result proved fruitful for those in the “Big Apple,” as Burns’ two-sack, seven-tackle masterpiece encouraged a 34-17 win on Oct. 9, 2025, earning the Giants center stage on Thursday Night Football.
