The following day, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel responded to Gardner-Johnson's comments, questioning the latter's tenure with eight teams in four years. Vrabel also praised Efton Chism III, the practice squad player who scored the touchdown, noting that he runs more than anyone else during practice.",
