New York Giants' edge rusher Brian Burns made history on Sunday. In the first quarter, he sacked Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, reaching a remarkable milestone. It was his eighth sack of the season, placing him among the elite in NFL history. Only eight players before him have recorded 7.5 or more sacks in each of their first six seasons.

But the Price of Greatness

This achievement didn't come without a cost. Shortly after the sack, Burns nearly got taken out by the Ravens' massive offensive tackle Daniel Faalele with a blindside hit. It was a brutal collision that left many worried. Brian Burns got absolutely destroyed on that field-reversing scramble. He is a 6-foot-4, 270-pound force on the field, but even he wasn't prepared for the impact of a 6-8, 380-pounder like Faalele. However, he was able to return a few plays later and finish the game, showing his resilience.

The Aftermath and the Giants' Struggle

After the game, Burns admitted that he was "beat up a bit." The hit clearly took a toll on him, but he didn't let it end his day. He continued to fight for his team. The Giants, on the other hand, took a heavy blow as they lost their ninth straight game. Burns knows what it's like to be on a losing team, having come from the Carolina Panthers. During his five seasons in Carolina, the team never won more than seven games in a season and recorded double-digit losses every year. When asked about the feeling in the locker room after the 35-14 loss to Baltimore, Burns said, "I don't know. It really wasn't too much talking after this game. Probably get a better feel on Monday." And now, Monday is here, and the situation doesn't seem to have improved much.

Looking Ahead

Brian Burns will continue to be a key player for the New York Giants. His ability to get to the quarterback is a valuable asset. Despite the setbacks, he remains focused on helping his team win. The Giants need to find a way to turn things around, and Burns will be at the forefront of that effort. His experience and determination will be crucial as they strive to break their losing streak and get back on track. Football is a tough sport, and Burns has shown that he has what it takes to overcome adversity and continue to perform at a high level.
