Carolina Panthers' Brian Burns wishes NFL DEs 'happy hunting' vs. New England Patriots' Mac Jones

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers defensive end Brian Burns isn't buying Mac Jones' explanation that the New England Patriots quarterback was trying to tackle and not injure him after a sack on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium.

He all but put a target on the 15th pick of the 2021 draft when asked how he wanted the situation, being reviewed by the NFL for a possible fine, to turn out.

"It would be nice to have an apology, but it's not going to happen,'' Burns said on Wednesday, the first time he's addressed the play.
