Davante Adams fires back at Chargers social media team over schedule release
When it comes to division rivalries in the NFL, the AFC West feud between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers is hardly one of the most fierce.
Davante Adams is doing his best to change that.
Adams’ issue isn’t with the Chargers, per se, but rather with their social media team.
Appearing on FanDuel TV’s Up And Adams on Tuesday, the three-time All-Pro wide receiver took issue with the Chargers’ social media schedule release, in which the team likened each of its opponents to a particular Pop-Tart, with the Raiders — and Adams — being represented by a garbage-flavored pastry.
There was little a trend a little bit ago where a few of the social media pages were posting some funny stuff of when the schedule was released,” the 31-year-old Adams told Adams. “They posted me and then like a trash can or something like that, the Chargers did. I thought about responding on social media to it and being funny there, but I figured it’d be better to just beat their head in in real life.”
The Fresno State product proceeded to note that he caught 10 passes for 141 yards and a touchdown against the Chargers in his Raiders debut in 2022, which he followed by catching eight passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 13 win over Los Angeles. Last season, Adams was slightly less productive against the Chargers, tallying eight receptions for 75 yards and eight catches for 101 yards and a touchdown in his two performances against them — the latter of which was a 63-21 Raiders victory on Thursday Night Football.
