Chicago Bears wide receiver Javon Wims was ejected from Sunday's game against New Orleans after throwing a punch at Saints safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson.
The minor brawl broke out in the third quarter after a play ended on the other side of the field. Wims approached Gardner-Johnson after the whistle, got his attention, and then threw a sucker-punch right at his helmet.

On Twitter, fans shared their puzzlement with the play.
