Here’s a Play by Play of What Led to Bears WR Javon Wims’ Swinging

Chicago Bears wide receiver Javon Wims said New Orleans Saints cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson spit on him and ripped out his mouthpiece before Wims responded violently during Sunday’s game, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Wims punched Gardner-Johnson multiple times and was ejected:

In addition to Wims’ ejection, the incident led to a 15-yard penalty for Chicago in the third quarter of a tie game. Nick Foles threw an interception on the next play, causing a significant shift for a game the Bears eventually lost in overtime.

Here’s a video breakdown of what happened:

Gardner-Johnson must be a HOF caliber trash talker to be in someone’s head that long.

Wims doesn’t have much margin for error on the team with just five catches for 35 yards.

In this one sequence he gave back 43% of the yards he’s gained this season.
