COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Davante Adams' sideline soliloquy, captured when he was mic'd up for the Netflix series "Receiver" in the Raiders' Week 6 game against the New England Patriots last season, personified the growing frustration of a future Hall of Fame pass catcher in an increasingly frustrating season.
"I gotta get the f--- outta here before I lose my f---ing life. I ain't never been hit this many f---ing times in my career. Every game, I get f---ed up."
It came after a particularly brutal hit Adams absorbed on a slant pass from Jimmy Garoppolo that was behind him, and the ball popped up into the air long enough to be plucked out of the sky for an interception.
