ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills cornerback Vontae Davis abruptly retired at halftime of Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, saying in a statement later that the reality had hit him: "I shouldn't be out there anymore."
Davis, a 10-year veteran, said he meant no disrespect to his teammates and coaches, but that physically he could no longer play at the standard he set for himself.
"[He] pulled himself out of the game," Bills coach Sean McDermott said. "He communicated to us that he was done."
Linebacker Lorenzo Alexander alerted reporters to Davis' abrupt retirement after the game.
