Dyami Brown shoves CJ Gardner-Johnson in front of ref, somehow gets Eagles safety penalized

Eagles fans were left confused on Sunday when Philadelphia safety CJ Gardner-Johnson was called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Johnson hit him in the helmet after the play. Evidently, fans weren’t the only ones flabbergasted.

After the official threw the flag and pointed at Gardner-Johnson, the former Florida standout threw his hands up, seemingly bewildered by the call. It’s easy to understand his confusion. Normally, players aren’t penalized for verbal altercations but, instead, the physical results.

Nonetheless, the “norm” didn’t seem to apply in this situation. Now, Gardner-Johnson must recover from the frustrating moment, as the Eagles look to build on their 21-7 lead halfway through the second quarter.
