Brian Burns has been named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week by the NFL. This comes after the Carolina Panthers edge player posted three tackles, two sacks, one fumble forced, and one pass defensed while helping his unit hold the Denver Broncos to only ten points.
On the season, Burns has already reached ten (10!) sacks, 13 tackles for loss, 17 QB hits, 53 tackles, one forced fumble, and two passes defensed. The man has been everywhere this season and done just about everything. There is a reason why teams were interested in for his services at the trade deadline this season.
