Overview
- Brian Burns said his viral tunnel outburst was taken out of context and was not a critique of Shane Bowen or the coverage call.
- Burns called the drop-eight look appropriate with 30 seconds left and no timeouts, saying the 29-yard Bo Nix pass to Marvin Mims was an unlucky deflection intended for Courtland Sutton.
- Shane Bowen defended the decision to rush three and drop eight but accepted full responsibility for Dexter Lawrence not being on the field for the critical snap.
- Head coach Brian Daboll said he will not make major staff changes before Sunday’s game at Philadelphia.
- Defensive leaders, including Burns and Dexter Lawrence, voiced support for Bowen, and Burns (hip) missed practice midweek but said he expects to play.
