Panthers DE Brian Burns set for special celebration after upset win over Bucs

A lot has been happening lately for Carolina Panthers defensive end Brian Burns. But now, he’s just going to wind down (or turn up) in his own action-packed, brandy-filled way.

Following his team’s 21-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7, Burns gave reporters a sneak preview into how he’s planning on celebrating the shocking upset. And it appears he’s going to have himself quite a Sunday night . . .

Burns, of course, has very recently been the subject of outside interest from numerous teams given Carolina’s current situation. In fact, ESPN senior writer Adam Schefter reported just this morning that the Panthers turned down an offer of two first-round picks for the 24-year-old pass rusher.

That, however, shouldn’t have been much of a concern for Burns—who absolutely shined throughout the afternoon. The budding star recorded five tackles on the day, one of which was his career sack of Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady.

So, happy viewing and cheers to you, Brian. You’ve earned it.
