Bills cornerback dismisses Efton Chism’s miraculous one-handed touchdown: ‘Probably won’t hear from him again’
The New England Patriots defeated the Buffalo Bills 29-26, with a spectacular one-handed touchdown catch by Efton Chism III proving crucial to the result. Bills cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson responded dismissively after the loss, suggesting the receiver would not reach such heights again and that his performance represented the pinnacle of his career.
Chism's 19-yard TD reception, made with a defender draped over him in the end zone, put the Patriots ahead in Sunday's clash. Although his catch was not the final score, a subsequent Patriots interception of Josh Allen sealed the victory and handed Buffalo their first loss of the season. The second-year receiver said he had "blacked out" when the ball was in the air, whilst Patriots QB Drake Maye threw three touchdown passes in the winning effort.
