Former Buffalo Bills player Vontae Davis made the unprecedented decision to retire at halftime during last week's 31-20 loss to the San Diego Chargers. That led to plenty of jokes about the feeling of playing for a team as historically hapless as the Bills. However, the move seems to have lit a fire underneath the defense he used to play for, who just finished dominating the Vikings in a 27-6 win. Twitter noticed and they were absolutely ruthless about it.Â
Of course, this is the basic joke that had to be made:Â
At this rate, Vontae Davis might show up at halftime. #Bills
And others had a bit more fun with the idea of Davis coming back:Â

We all know he knows how to make an exit, but Twitter had a lot of fun with the idea of him making an entrance:
