Bills' C.J. Gardner-Johnson after game-changing pick: 'I feel like we a championship team'
Buffalo Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson on game-changing pick.
The Buffalo Bills secured a hard-fought victory against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, thanks to an incredible interception by cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson. The play came on a crucial third-and-5 situation, with the Chargers driving to the Bills' 23-yard line with a chance to extend their lead. Gardner-Johnson leaped the route and scooped up the interception, racing 41 yards near midfield for the pick.
The safety expressed pride in his performance, stating that he pressured the Chargers quarterback, Justin Herbert, and was ready to make the play no matter where the receiver was.
Gardner-Johnson, who has recorded six interceptions across two seasons, highlighted the importance of capitalizing on missed opportunities. The interception marked the Bills' fifth turnover of the game, a stark contrast to their only turnover since 1997 – a win against the Indianapolis Colts. The safety praised the team's resilience, saying, "I feel like we're a championship team." The Bills now face their division rival, the New England Patriots, in their quest for a 4-0 start to the season.
