""Drop eight in coverage!""
""Coming right off the field, I got a lot of emotions going on,""
""What I was referring to is the fact that we had a call specifically to take away that play and the fact that [Broncos quarterback Bo] Nix wasn't even trying to throw it to Mims and it just so happened to be completed, it was kind of a disbelief. Like, bro, there's no way that we dropped eight and still couldn't stop that ball from getting completed. That's more so where my frustration lied. It wasn't nothing towards the [play] call.""
Edge rusher Brian Burns reacted emotionally after a 33-32 loss when a late play resulted in a completed pass despite the Giants rushing three and dropping eight into coverage. A video showed Burns angrily shouting as he left the field, creating the impression of displeasure with the defensive approach. Burns clarified that the reaction stemmed from disbelief that a play designed to be taken away still connected to Marvin Mims, not from opposition to the play call or to defensive coordinator Shane Bowen. Burns believed the coverage was correct, and the completion preceded the Broncos' game-winning field goal. Burns is tied for the NFL lead with nine sacks.
