Bills star CJ Gardner-Johnson is ejected from game after spitting at opponent in shameful NFL moment
Buffalo Bills star CJ Gardner-Johnson has been ejected from their game against the Las Vegas Raiders after spitting at an opponent on the field.
During the second quarter, the Bills safety approached Raiders tight end Brock Bowers for a heated exchange of words – before spitting in his rival’s direction.
The disgusting incident occurred right in front of an official, who quickly flagged the action. Gardner-Johnson was ejected from the game soon after.
Bizarrely, the Bills safety was seen with a big grin on his face as he made his way back to the locker room following the ruling by the officials.
The shocking ordeal comes just two weeks after Gardner-Johnson sparked a feud with Mike Vrabel after the Bills star derided the Patriots’ Efton Chism over his incredible game-winning touchdown in Buffalo.
Chism, an undrafted free agent, made a stunning one-handed catch as New England secured a 29-26 victory earlier this month.

It was just his seventh reception since joining the Patriots in 2025 but it condemned the Bills to a first loss of the season and afterwards Gardner-Johnson dismissed Chism as only a ‘practice squad player.’
The Bills safety said: ‘An elevated guy made a hell of a catch – [we] probably won’t hear from him again…. a practice squad player made a hell of a play.
‘That’s all I’m going to tell you. You do it again, and he probably won’t make it again.’
Gardner-Johnson’s comments quickly went viral and when they were put to Vrabel, the Patriots coach did not turn down the chance to poke holes in the safety’s own resume.
‘For a guy that’s been on eight teams in four years? I mean, I guess he knows the drill,’ he told The Greg Hill Show.
Gardner-Johnson was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in 2019 and before joining the Bills, he spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles (twice), the Detroit Lions, the Houston Texans, the Baltimore Ravens and the Chicago Bears.
The Bills are his fifth team since 2024. Chism, meanwhile, has played in 11 regular-season games and has never spent time on the Patriots practice squad.
‘Nobody works harder [than Chism]. You love to see players take advantage of opportunities, to help the team win,’ Vrabel added.
‘He is very well respected, he practices, he is on show team, he takes a million reps, nobody logs more miles or yards or whatever we track than Chis.’
