With the Bills up 38-10, the Raiders attempted to leave with some of their dignity. They ended up adding injury to insult.
In first and ten from the Buffalo 38, Jimmy Garoppolo dropped back and threw deep over the middle for Davante. Three defenders were in the area and the pass was broken up. At the same time, Taylor Rapp flew in an nailed Adams, causing him to get up slowly.
Buy Raiders TicketsAdams attempted to head back to the huddle, but the officials forced him to go out. A short time later, Adams was escorted to the locker room and the Raiders officially announced he was being evaluated for a concussion.
Meanwhile, the Raiders fumbled away their hopes of making the end result not look as bad as it was and the Bills finished it off for a 38-10 win.
The Raiders were already without starting receiver Jakobi Meyers who suffered a concussion in the season opener. And they missed him today in Buffalo.
With the game out of reach, it’s appropriate to ask why Adams was in the game at all, let alone running post patterns and seeing passes in triple coverage. You’re just asking for a serious injury in garbage time, and this team is going to need their All Pro receiver if they hope to rebound from this performance.
