Bears WR Anthony Miller ejected from playoff game vs. Saints in third quarter

This has been a rough season for Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller, and he made it far worse by punching Saints safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson and getting ejected in the third quarter of the Bears’ playoff game.

After the Saints stopped the Bears on third-and-15, Gardner-Johnson came up behind Miller and said something to him, then Miller turned and punched him in the helmet. Both players were flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Gardner-Johnson has been on the Bears’ radar as an instigator since their game at Soldier Field in November. Wide receiver Javon Wims got a two-game suspension for punching him in that game.
