Last night, the New Orleans Saints edged out a 26-23 victory over the Chicago Bears in an overtime thriller.
During the game, Bears WR Javon Wims was seen punching Saints player C.J. Gardner-Johnson in the helmet for what looked like no reason. However, rumors are Gardner-Johnson can be quite the instigator. In fact, he was the player that got into an altercation with teammate Michael Thomas that caused Thomas to get disciplined earlier in the season.
A few Twitter users posted clips of what was going on beforehand.
At one point in the game, CJGJ ripped Wims’ mouthpiece out. You can see it in the video below at the top right corner of the screen.

CJGJ also stuck his finger through Wims facemask and into his mouth.

After coming in and out of the game, Wims finally found his opportunity to retaliate at the end of a play. He first attempted to rip CJGJ’s mouthpiece out but was unsuccessful, so he then began punching.
