Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams made a memorable debut for that Darkside in Week 1. The 29-year-old bagged a rich haul with ten catches for 141 yards and a touchdown. However, Week 2 was different. Adams still had a TD catch but wasn’t able to do much for the rest of the day. He led the receivers with 65 snaps, but his receiving numbers were the lowest on his team.

Both his catches came in the first half. His off-show in the second outing is related to his lack of support from the team, as per the experts. NFL analyst Chancellor Johnson tweeted he had never seen Adams make that type of face when Aaron Rodgers was throwing him the ball. 

Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams: A special bond

When Adams initially choose to bid goodbye to the Packers, A-Rod sent him a text message. It resulted in the former staying with the franchise. The experience of playing together for several seasons has made the duo feel special about each other. They played for the Packers since 2014. 

However, the wide receiver signed a record $141.25 million deal with Las Vegas. He reunited with QB Derek Carr, who was also his former Fresno State teammate. Carr called his recruitment of Adams egregious. However, their performance as a dominant duo, has not been at the best level. Talking about it, NFL analyst Stephen A. Smith said the Raiders are the most disappointing team so far.

“Who the hell is in your division? You got to answer that call and you are the face of the franchise. Davante Adams is arguably the best wide receiver in football wall. He won the top three tight ends in football. This ain’t a joke. You got weapons. What the hell are you doing? Handle your business. If you are Derek Carr and you are just trying to manage, let me make sure I don’t make mistakes,” Smith said. 

Vegas had a rocky start to the 2022 campaign. However, a good game can definitely swing their fortunes. Will the duo repeat the magic?
