The Buffalo Bills took their second loss of the season to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, but that’s not the story coming from the locker room. Bills cornerback Vontae Davis retired during halftime surprising everyone from teammates to fans.
Coach Sean McDermott spoke with ESPN about the sudden retirement of Davis and he stated: “He communicated to us that he was done.”
While McDermott was a little bit more reserved in regards to the retirement, former teammate Lorenzo Alexander did not hold back his words toward Davis.
“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,” Alexander said.
Buffalo CB Vontae Davis apparently retired at halftime during the Chargers-Bills game Sunday.
“He said he’s not coming out. He retired…”
