Bills starting safety ejected after spitting toward Raiders players

Buffalo Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and ejected with 19 seconds remaining in the first half of the Sunday matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. The ejection followed a third-down play in which the Bills were penalized for defensive holding.

After the play, Gardner-Johnson engaged in verbal exchanges with Raiders tight end Brock Bowers. Replays broadcast on CBS showed Gardner-Johnson appearing to spit in the direction of Bowers and Raiders center Tyler Linderbaum, which led to the flag and subsequent removal from the game.

Despite the ejection, the Las Vegas Raiders converted the ensuing drive into a field goal, resulting in a 13-13 tie at halftime. No further details about the incident or potential disciplinary action were included in the source material.
