The Bills are in a battle with the Raiders in Las Vegas, and they will have to play the second half without safety CJ Gardner-Johnson.
Gardner-Johnson began chewing Tyler Linderbaum and Brock Bowers before spitting in their direction. Officials ejected Gardner-Johnson with 14 seconds left in the half. The NFL could also suspend Gardner-Johnson for next week’s game.
His 14-yard penalty – half the distance – allowed Matt Gay to tie the game 13-13 with a 27-yard field goal on the final play of the half.
Buffalo scored on its first three possessions, but only one of them was a touchdown.
Tyler Bass made field goals of 44 and 28 yards on drives of 30 and 58 yards. The Bills’ touchdown drive totaled 85 yards in nine plays, with Khalil Shakir catching a 9-yard pass from Josh Allen.
The Bills only outscored the Raiders 176-170.
Allen is 12 of 16 for 144 yards and a touchdown. The Raiders sacked him twice. James Cook has eight carries for 36 yards.
Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins is 12 of 17 for 126 yards. Ashton Jeanty has eight carries for 27 yards and a touchdown, adding four catches for 36 yards. Michael Mayer had five catches for 52 yards.
