Buffalo (AFP) - Buffalo safety Aaron Williams was examined and released from hospital after injuring his neck in the Bills' 40-32 NFL loss to New England.

Williams was hurt in the third quarter when he tried a diving tackle in a bid to stop Patriots' wide receiver Julian Edelman's 22-yard touchdown reception.

The contest was delayed more than 10 minutes as Williams was immobilized and placed on a stretcher.
