Davante Adams Expresses Frustration During Raiders' Loss

In what was initially a promising move for the Las Vegas Raiders, star wide receiver Davante Adams found himself unable to contain his frustration during a challenging game against the Detroit Lions.

Adams, who joined the Raiders after a successful eight-year stint with the Green Bay Packers, had a night to forget as the Raiders succumbed to a 26-14 loss.

Adams' frustration came to the forefront near the end of the game, following a missed opportunity when Jimmy Garoppolo failed to connect with him on what could have been a game-changing touchdown. In a moment of visible frustration, Adams slammed his helmet down, took a seat on the bench, and expressed his displeasure verbally.

In the post-game interview, Adams kept his comments brief, saying, "Honestly, I don't know what to say at this moment. I truly don't. I wish I had the words to say something that's not going to get blown up in the media and taken out of context. Truly, I just don't know." When asked to elaborate on his feelings, he simply replied, "Frustration."

Adams' frustration wasn't isolated, as fellow Raider Josh Jacobs, who has struggled this season, also appeared frustrated, declining to offer solutions for the team's offensive struggles.


Adams, who is regarded as one of the NFL's premier receivers, has frequently been underutilized in the Raiders' offense in recent seasons, a trend that has been a source of concern during their losses. At 30 years old, Adams is undoubtedly eyeing a Super Bowl appearance, but achieving that goal with the Raiders seems increasingly challenging.

As the Raiders face mounting obstacles, Adams' visible frustration on Monday night has raised questions about the team's direction and the future of their star wide receiver. It remains to be seen how this frustration may impact the Raiders' performance and their star receiver's future in Las Vegas.

Bruce Springsteen Says Fame Once Scared Him and Therapy Saved His Life

Photo: Bruce Springsteen / Instagram   Bruce Springsteen says he feared fame would change him when his career took off with Born to Run  in 1975.  The rocker, now 76, told TIME100 in a cover story on Sept. 25 that he felt life becoming very different after his first TIME and Newsweek  covers.  He said the praise for his music was a dream come true but came with new problems.  Photo: Bruce Springsteen / Instagram   His sister Pam even told him about paparazzi looking into their family kitchen, which made him worry about how fame would affect them. Springsteen called fame “a very distorted lens” and said he had to protect what mattered most to him.  Those fears helped inspire his next album, Darkness on the Edge of Town , which celebrated working-class life.  He also revealed he struggled with thoughts of suicide after his 1982 album Nebraska and began focusing on mental health.  Springsteen still goes to therapy today and says it has cha...
