Eagles safety CJ Gardner-Johnson made headlines Sunday at Northwest Stadium, but not for his impressive on-field performance against the Commanders. His fiery exit stole the spotlight after officials ejected him in the third quarter.
Gardner-Johnson's day started with promise. He snagged a critical interception off Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels near the end of the second quarter when Washington was on their 33-yard line. He added a tackle and a pass deflection to his stat line before things took a dramatic turn.
The trouble began when Gardner-Johnson and Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown clashed after an 11-yard completion to Terry McLaurin. Brown shoved Gardner-Johnson's helmet off his head during the scuffle. Yet surprisingly, only Gardner-Johnson received a penalty.
