Bills' C.J. Gardner-Johnson ejected for spitting toward Raiders players

Left-leaning outlets, including The Washington Post and The New York Times, lead by reporting that Buffalo Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was ejected during Sunday's game in Las Vegas for spitting toward a group of Raiders players, including tight end Brock Bowers. Reports agree the incident came late in the second quarter, with the Bills ahead 13-10 at the time, and that the Bills went on to win 33-30. The New York Times notes the penalty on the play helped set up a Raiders field goal.

Alternative and independent outlets add that Gardner-Johnson expects a fine, and Awful Announcing says CBS broadcasters criticized the ejection as selfish, describing a lengthy officials' review before the penalty was announced. Right-leaning Breitbart frames the episode as the player being once again at the center of controversy, pairing its report with video. The sides differ mainly in emphasis: left outlets focus on the spitting and its effect on the game, alternative outlets on the aftermath and reactions, and the right on the controversy and video.
