The star edge rusher was seen showing his frustration by ESPN Giants reporter Jordan Raanan.
"The entire Giants team is in the locker room. Brian Burns , seemingly furious at what he just saw, sitting on the bench by himself for a couple minutes," Raanan posted on the social media website X, formerly Twitter. "Nobody seems to be taking the team's struggles this season harder than the veteran edge rusher."
Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic even caught the moment — snapping this picture through her press box seat .

New York managed to slice the lead to 15 — off some creativity featuring Devin Singletary .
Quarterback Jaxson Dart then fired this two-point conversion touchdown pass to cut down the Patriots lead at Gillette Stadium.
Still, the Giants endured inconsistent moments and one scary special teams injury involving Gunner Olszewski . He went into the medical tent after Christian Elliss drilled him during the second quarter — forcing the fumble in the process.
Burns managed to grab two tackles with one solo stop before the end of the game. Zaire Barnes led NYG with six solo stops and 11 tackles total. Paulson Adebo grabbed 10 tackles (team-high eight solo stops) from his cornerback spot.
