"The 27-year-old has been a star-worthy constant within another miserable season, which sunk to 2-13 after a 16-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at MetLife Stadium for the Giants' ninth-straight loss. Burns ranks second in the NFL with 15 sacks behind only Cleveland Browns superstar Myles Garrett, who is on the cusp of breaking Michael Strahan's single-season NFL sack record."
"With two games remaining in the season, Burns currently sits in a tie for seventh for the most sacks in a single season by a Giants pass rusher. His 20 tackles for a loss have also set a career high and are the most by a Giants player since Jason Pierre-Paul in 2011. Burns has been as advertised in what was supposed to be a fearsome trio of Giants edge rushers in 2025."
