New York Giants defeat Tennessee Titans 12-7 amid Brian Burns injury

The New York Giants defeated the Tennessee Titans 12-7 at MetLife Stadium during a rainy, windy game on September 27, 2026. The victory improves the Giants to 2-1, while the Titans fall to 0-3.

In the absence of starting quarterback Jaxson Dart, who is out for the remainder of the season, veteran Jameis Winston led the offense. Winston completed 12 of 18 passes for 117 yards. The Giants' scoring relied heavily on rookie kicker Dominic Zvada, who converted four field goals.

Despite the win, the Giants suffered a significant defensive blow when star pass-rusher Brian Burns sustained a right knee injury in the fourth quarter. Reports indicate Burns may have suffered a season-ending ACL tear. This follows the earlier loss of Dart, leaving the Giants' roster severely depleted.
