C.J. Gardner-Johnson, safety for the Philadelphia Eagles, was ejected during the second half of a close game against the Washington Commanders after receiving two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. The first penalty occurred in the first quarter, and the second, which led to his disqualification, was due to taunting Commanders players.
Following his ejection, Gardner-Johnson expressed his frustration by making an obscene gesture towards the crowd. His absence was felt on the field, as the Commanders capitalized on the situation, with quarterback Jayden Daniels performing effectively after the ejection.
