Giants Wire
The New York Giants lost their fifth straight game on Sunday in Germany, falling to the Carolina Panthers in embarrassing fashion.
Brian Burns, who spent the first five years of his NFL career with Carolina, was particularly hurt by the loss.
“Yeah, it hurt,” he told reporters. “You know, losing like that and losing to a team I spent extended amount of time with hurt, and seeing all those faces that was in the building was a little tough. But it was straight. I was happy to see them.”
Burns was a notable performer against his former team, but in the end, the Giants left Munich with a loss to one, if not the worst team in the NFL.
Burns had a sack less than a minute into the game, one of two tackles for a loss, and nine total tackles on the day.
Ahead of Sunday’s game, Burns made it clear he was taking a business-as-usual approach to preparing for the matchup against his former team and claimed he held no grudge against the franchise.
While he had an impressive individual performance against his former team, both Burns and his new team would have certainly liked to come away with a win.
