‘Alexander, a thirteen year veteran, went on to say he had never seen that happen before at any level of football. “Pop Warner, high school, college, pros,” he said, “(I’ve) never heard of it. Never seen it. And it’s completely disrespectful to his teammates. He didn’t say nothing to nobody.”’

‘I thought Allen did a good job of hanging in the pocket, better than he did last week in Baltimore. I felt he became too jumpy against the Ravens but he looked more comfortable this week even though he was under pressure on numerous drop backs. When he had time in the pocket and he did on a number of throws, he seemed to be going through his reads in an attempt to find an open receiver. There were times he would load up and appear ready to unleash a deep ball but he didn’t have an open target downfield. He did throw the ball deep a few times and hit on a 57 yard bomb to Zay Jones who did a good job of coming back for the pass.’

‘Allen ran to the sideline and started yelling to everybody on the defense that he was with them and he knew they could stop the Chargers. He was emotional and showed even though he’s a rookie, he’s a leader.’

‘What else is there to do with someone who outright quit on his teammates in the middle of a game? By all accounts, that’s what Davis did when he took himself out and did not return for the second half, even after teammates let it be known that he was needed due to injuries and them being down another cornerback. Several players made it very clear they were upset and felt disrespected by Davis and his actions. The ten year veteran announced his retirement about two hours after the game.’
