The Las Vegas Raiders are now on a three-game losing streak after falling to the Buffalo Bills. Before the season, the team may have been happy to be 3-3 considering how tough the early schedule is, but losing three in a row after starting 3-0 is a tough pill to swallow.
The Raiders did get an assist during the game when cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson got ejected from the game after spitting toward star tight end Brock Bowers. The Bills also got called for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
Gardner-Johnson has a reputation for being a bit of a hot head during games. After he got ejected for the incident, San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk called out Gardner-Johnson for doing the same thing to him last season.
“This is the least surprising thing ever. (C.J. Gardner-Johnson) spit on me last year when we beat Chicago,” Juszczyk wrote on X.
Losing Gardner-Johnson didn’t hurt the Bills’ chances to win, but it will be interesting to see how the team addresses it. It’s never a great look when a player is spitting toward other players, especially when that player has a reputation. Last year, Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter spit at Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, which led to a fine and a one-game suspension. Gardner-Johnson is likely looking at a fine, but a suspension is unlikely.
