After a poor game against Miami, Burgess rebounded in a big way against the Giants. 

Burgess stepped up to start with Neville Hewitt and C.J. Mosley still both out with injuries. He played well in the middle of the defense, wracking up seven combined tackles, one quarterback hit, half a sack and one pass defended.
