Giants $141M star has weird take on Week 1 matchup vs Cowboys
New York Giants pass rusher Brian Burns is seeking revenge against the Dallas Cowboys for a game he wasn't a part of in 2023.
The last time the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants squared off in Week 1 on Sunday Night Football, America’s Team demolished their NFC East rivals, 40-0 . That game was a much-anticipated matchup that opened the 2023 season, featuring two teams coming off playoff appearances the year prior. Instead of intrigue, there was only embarrassment for one of the NFL’s great franchises.
One current Giants player is determined to not allow that to happen again. Star pass rusher Brian Burns took aim at the Cowboys and vowed redemption this time around. Brian Burns on the Cowboys: “40-0, you know we're gonna hear a lot about that leading up to this one.
Damn sure I'm gonna want to redeem it this time around. ” Revenge time. 😈 pic.
