CHICAGO (AP) — Javon Wims was ejected during another ugly third quarter for the Chicago Bears during their 26-23 overtime loss against the New Orleans Saints.

Wims walked right up to C.J. Gardner-Johnson and took a swing. Then he threw another punch before he got tied up as each team flocked to the scrum.

It was unclear what exactly led to the outburst by Wims, a third-year receiver who was selected by the Bears in the seventh round of the 2018 draft.

Chicago has been outscored 49-7 in the third quarter on the season.
