49ers' Juszczyk accuses Gardner-Johnson of spitting last season

San Francisco 49ers tight end Kyle Juszczyk has publicly stated that he was spat on by Buffalo Bills defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson during the previous NFL season. The incident has drawn attention, with Bills coach Joe Brady responding to the allegation.

The 49ers currently lead the NFL standings with six victories from six games, holding a strong goal difference of +67. Meanwhile, the Bills are positioned second, having won five of their six games and maintaining a goal difference of +26.

San Francisco will next face the Atlanta Falcons on 25 October, aiming to extend their unbeaten streak. Buffalo, coming off a narrow loss to the New England Patriots, will look to maintain their form in upcoming fixtures.

The 49ers have secured wins against teams such as the Washington Commanders and Seattle Seahawks in recent weeks. Buffalo's recent results include wins over the Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions, with their only defeat this season against the Patriots.
