The Buffalo Bills released rookie punter Matt Araiza two days after he was accused in a civil lawsuit of raping a 17-year-old girl, the team announced Saturday. “This is bigger than football,” Bills general manager Brandon Beane said. The Bills held Araiza out during the team's final preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on Friday. He was named the Bills starting punter earlier this week.
