    The Buffalo Bills released punter Matt Araiza two days after a civil lawsuit was filed alleging he and two of his former San Diego State teammates gang raped a minor. All three are accused of rape, gender violence and false imprisonment.

    "This is bigger than football," Bills general manager Brandon Beane said Saturday night. "Let's just step back and [let Araiza] go handle this. That's what we thought was most important."

    Beane said in a news conference held over two hours after practice ended in the team's fieldhouse that the decision was made to release Araiza earlier that afternoon.
