‘Why Didn’t They Do More To Try And Take Away Davante Adams?’ PFF Questions Steelers’ Defensive Scheme

It’s well-known just how great Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams is. He’s on a Hall of Fame trajectory at the receiver position, is the best route runner in football and remains in the discussion as the best receiver in football, bar-none.

Yet, on Sunday night inside Allegiant Stadium against the Raiders on Sunday Night Football the Pittsburgh Steelers seemed content with letting Adams eat.

Eat he did. Adams saw a whopping 20 targets on the night from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and finished with 13 catches for 172 yards and two touchdowns, beating Steelers cornerback Levi Wallace on both touchdowns on the night.
