Detroit Lions safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson traded some words with Bus quarterback Baker Mayfield earlier in the week. Gardner-Johnson said that the Bucs would be better if they had a better quarterback and Mayfield fired back by saying that Gardner-Johnson doesn't watch film. 

One of these two was going to have bragging rights at the end of Sunday's game and that turns out to be Gardner-Johnson. He picked off Mayfield on the Bucs opening drive and then went to Mayfield, flipped him the ball and said something to him. 

If we know anything about Gardner-Johnson it's that this wasn't the only talking he was going to do. Especially if the Lions were to win this game. Well, they did. The Lions won 31-23 and Mayfield ended the game with two picks. Gardner-Johnson took to Instagram live and had this to say about Mayfield.

Good for Gardner-Johnson to talk the talk and then back it up by walking the walk. He's been tremendous since his return to the field. He's be a big help against the 49ers next Sunday in the NFC Championship game.
