Philadelphia Eagles star C.J. Gardner-Johnson appeared to sear at Washington Commanders fans as he was led off the field on Sunday.
The safety was ejected from the blockbuster NFC East showdown after his second unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
Gardner-Johnson later posted on social media, ‘Respectfully got kicked out for nothing’ and said he plays with passion and fire.
Referee Shawn Smith said the second flag was for taunting an opponent but his taunts did not end there.
Footage taken from the stadium shows Gardner-Johnson being led back to the locker room by a member of Eagles staff.
As jeers rain down on him from Commanders fans in the stands, he can then be seen showing them the middle finger.
