Easy. The Giants went three receivers wide. They had two wide right, and Burress wide left. You double him with the free safety you leave the middle back of the end zone wide open, as well as leaving the tight end uncovered if he delay blocks at the line and slips out into a pass route.
There is no way to double cover the end zone fade. In fact, there are very few ways to defend it. You either try to get inside position and deflect it, or hope the QB overthrows it. To get inside you almost have to gamble that the call is the outside fade and not a feint to the outside and a cut back to the post.
You might ask a different question, like, how did you wind up with Hobbs on Burress instead of Samuel
