Brian Burns sends grounding message to Abdul Carter as maturity issues rise

The New York Giants' Week 13 loss on Monday Night Football saw rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart's return be overshadowed by Abdul Carter's second benching in the last three games.

Big Blue saw the maturity issues for their prized pass-rusher resurface after it seemed like all of this was in the past. Luckily, he's once again not shying away from taking accountability, but Giants' star pass-rusher Brian Burns made sure to let Carter know that these rookie mistakes don't define him.
