Portland, OR, October 19, 2026 —

Buffalo Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was ejected from a game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, October 18, after video appeared to show him spitting toward Raiders tight end Brock Bowers.

The reported incident involved Gardner-Johnson and Bowers, but the available information does not specify when during the game it occurred or describe what happened immediately beforehand. It also does not identify the year of the October 18 game.

The account does not provide an explanation from game officials for the ejection, or say whether the video was reviewed before the decision. It does not include statements from Gardner-Johnson, Bowers, either team or the league. No details were provided about any further discipline or action following the ejection.

Those gaps leave the circumstances and aftermath unclear. The information provided establishes that Gardner-Johnson was removed from the game and that video appeared to show him spitting in Bowers’ direction; it does not establish additional details about the exchange or any subsequent review.

The game’s score, the point at which Gardner-Johnson was ejected and the impact of his departure on either team were not provided. The account also does not say whether the players had any further interaction. Without those details or comment from the people or organizations involved, the incident’s broader context cannot be determined from the information available.
