The National Football League has suspended Buffalo Bills safety C.J. Gardner‑Johnson for one game after video footage captured him spitting toward Las Vegas Raiders players during Sunday’s matchup.
Gardner‑Johnson, who has been a key defender for the Bills, was seen on camera directing the spit at several Raiders teammates as the game unfolded. The incident prompted the league to impose a one‑game ban, citing its policy on unsportsmanlike conduct.
Under the NFL’s disciplinary rules, players who engage in actions that degrade the integrity of the game can face suspensions, fines or other penalties. The league’s decision to suspend Gardner‑Johnson reflects its stance on maintaining sportsmanship on the field.
The safety will miss the Bills’ next scheduled appearance, leaving the team to adjust its defensive lineup for the upcoming game.
