Brian Burns of the Panthers admits in a furious ejection that “emotion got the best” of him.

The Carolina Panthers’ Brian Burns spoke candidly about his punch and subsequent ejection from Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Carolina Panthers’ 2023 season has been incredibly frustrating. Defensive star Brian Burns’ annoyance reached a breaking point during Sunday’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as he punched Cody Mauch and was ejected. After the game, Burns opened up about his exploding temper.

According to ESPN’s David Newton, Brian Burns once said, “Emotions go the best of me.” “In the first half, one of their offensive linemen made a statement that he ought to have addressed to my team and me. Since then, I’ve basically been on ten. I was furious.

The Buccaneers game was so close to being won that the Panthers’ loss to them, now 1-11 on the season, must hurt even more. The final score was 21–18, and Carolina would have won its second game of the season if the offense had produced a little bit more.

Burns must find it frustrating to be losing at this point in his career because he is one of the Panthers’ best players, if not the best.

Over the remainder of the season, it will be interesting to see if the Panthers are able to secure another victory. The Chicago Bears own the team’s first-round selection as a result of the trade that gave the Panthers the No. 1 pick in Bryce Young, so there’s no reason to lose.

To be a team that can compete for a postseason spot, let alone anything more, the Panthers have a lot of work ahead of them. In the upcoming seasons, maybe, things will improve for Burns and the team.
