Bears WR Javon Wims ejected Sunday after throwing mutliple punches

Bears receiver Javon Wims was ejected from Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints after throwing two punches at Saints defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson.

After the whistle on a third-quarter play, Wims took two swings at Gardner-Johnson, setting off a scrum near midfield. Wims wound up at the bottom of a pile of Saints players. It took referees a few minutes to separate the two teams.

Multiple flags littered the field and the referees ejected Wims. A 15-yard penalty on Wims set the Bears back to 2nd-and-20, and quarterback Nick Foles threw an interception on the next play.

It's hard to say for sure what provoked Wims to throw the punches. The television broadcast caught glimpses of a Saints player poking Bears receiver Anthony Miller through his face mask at one point.

Wims left the sideline immediately after his ejection and headed to the locker room.
