New season, same result for New York Giantswho is now 2-6 after losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers on “Monday Night Football.”

For the seventh time in the last eight seasons, the Giants have two wins or fewer in this stretch, and a newcomer to the roster isn’t happy.

Brian Burnswho was traded and extended this offseason to stay long-term with the Giants, expressed his displeasure with the team’s performance through eight games.

“The team has to grow,” he said, via NJ.com.

Burns isn’t the only Giants struggling with a three-game losing streak and a record that has them at the bottom of the NFC East.

“I think we need to show more passion as a team — or as leaders,” added defensive captain Dexter Lawrence.

Of course, it’s still early in the season and any team has a chance to pull off a winning streak that can put them back in playoff contention.

But with the rest of the NFC East there, including 3-4 Dallas CowboysThe Giants will need to get things going right away if they want to play through January 2025.

Effort is what Burns, Lawerence and the rest of the Giants want to see, as it wasn’t on full display Monday night at Acrisure Stadium as they fell 26-18 to the Steelers.

Head coach Brian Daboll sent out cornerback Deonte Banks, the team’s 2023 first-round draft pick, who also played with a lack of effort after appearing on tape against the Philadelphia Eagles last week.

Lawrence, usually one to keep his emotions in check, was seen cheering on his teammates on the sidelines as the Steelers had their way with the defense throughout the game.

“We have to play harder!” cried Lawrence. “We have to stop this play!”

Lawrence directed his anger at the secondary on the sideline, which led to some back-and-forth jawing before the tension dissipated.

Unfortunately for the Giants and their fan base, they were used to that feeling midway through the season, albeit in a 2022 campaign where they not only made the playoffs, but beat the Minnesota Vikings to advance to the round divisional.

This was Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen’s first year in New York, but it hasn’t gone well for the franchise since, putting job security in question if this trend continues for the rest of the year.
