In addition to a sense of respectability and two games, the Bills appear also to have lost a longtime defensive back.
Vontae Davis, a two-time Pro Bowler who had been playing his first season in Buffalo after nine years with Miami and Indianapolis, retired halfway through Sunday’s 31-20 loss to the Chargers, according to his team.
Buffalo linebacker Lorenzo Alexander told reporters that he was told Davis quit at halftime.
“Completely disrespectful,” Alexander said, according to The Athletic.
Coach Sean McDermott: “He pulled himself out of the game. He told us he was done.”
According to ESPN, Davis changed into street clothes at the break, said he was done and left the stadium.
The Bills were down 28-6 after the first 30 minutes, a week after getting destroyed, 47-3, by the Ravens.
The 30-year-old, a first-round pick in 2009 by the Dolphins, would finish his career after 113 games and 22 interceptions.
