Davante Adams
Davante Adams seemed to be having the best time of his life when he was catching throws and passes from Aaron Rodgers. However, in one of the biggest stories unravelling in the 2022 offseason, Adams parted ways with the Green Bay Packers, only to join the Las Vegas Raiders.
On one hand where the Packers are dealing with their own struggles, they have been managing to register wins and keep themselves in the playoffs hunt. On the other hand, Davante Adams and his Raiders have been majorly struggling to make a significant impact so far.
After dropping the initial three games of the 2022-23 season, the Raiders did seem to pick some momentum after they defeated the Denver Broncos. However, just when they needed to prove their metal – they suffered a heart wrenching loss against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5. The frustration of which was visible on Davante Adams.
To those who missed the live action – this game was all up for grabs for both teams. But it was the Las Vegas Raiders, who started hot and took a 10-point lead going into halftime. However, a miserable third quarter ensured that Patrick Mahomes was able to lead his Chiefs back into this contest.
With the Chiefs swiftly crawling their way in this contest, an incomplete pass in the final moments and a collision between Davante and Hunter Renfrow ended the contest for the Raiders. Plugging on toxic traits inside Davante Adams who did something terrible towards the end. Especially with someone who was not even involved in the game-action.
For an experienced wide receiver like Davante Adams who has been named to the Pro Bowl on 5 occasions, it is tough to swallow a defeat after building a 17-point lead. But it only goes onto highlight how inconsistent and incapable Raiders have proven to be in the 2022-23 season so far.
