Bills' Vontae Davis abruptly retires from football at halftime vs. Chargers

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills cornerback Vontae Davis apparently retired at halftime of Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

"[He] pulled himself out of the game," coach Sean McDermott said. "He communicated to us that he was done."

Davis started Sunday's game but was not seen on the field or on the sidelines in the second half. The Bills trailed, 28-6, at halftime.

"I don't have nothing to say about Vontae," linebacker Lorenzo Alexander said after the game. "I'm going to give him a little bit more respect than he showed us today, as far as quitting on us in the middle of the game.
