Bills' C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Efton Chism's game-winning TD: 'Probably won't hear from him again'
Efton Chism made a terrific TD catch to help the Patriots win in Buffalo, but the Bills' safety was unimpressed.
Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson expressed no desire to criticize the Patriots after their 29-26 loss. However, he did take aim at Efton Chism, the receiver who made a game-winning touchdown. Chism had two receptions, one a 19-yard grab and the other a highlight-reel catch in the closing moments of the game. Despite being covered heavily, Chism made a one-handed grab to secure the lead.
The touchdown was aptly described as "Touchdown Patriots" on the game broadcast. Chism's performance came after an injury to Mack Hollins, who played a season-high 34 snaps that day. Gardner-Johnson noted Chism's impact, praising his "hell of a catch" even though the Bills had not elevated him from the practice squad. He suggested Chism might not have many more chances to shine, stating he "probably won't hear from him again, respectfully."
Chism, however, remained positive postgame, describing his heightened state of focus during crucial plays. Gardner-Johnson acknowledged the Patriots' victory, but claimed the Bills did not play poorly - "They didn't do s*** better than us. We gotta play better."
