Philadelphia Eagles veteran safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson is continuing to live up to his "most annoying" player reputation in the NFL after being ejected from Week 16's matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Gardner-Johnson was flagged for two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties before he was kicked out of the game in the third quarter.

He drew his first flag in the first half after he shared some words with Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown. Brown threw a punch but only Gardner-Johnson was penalized for stirring things up.

His second penalty came after linebacker Zach Baun forced another Commanders' turnover while Nolan Smith recovered it.

It's unclear what Garnder-Johnson did that time but his mouth must have gotten him in trouble with an official of Commanders player.

He logged one interception, a tackle, and one pass defensed before he was escorted off the field by Eagles security guard Big Dom, and threw up double birds to Commanders fans.
