It's one thing to lose to the Steelers, it's another thing to lose twice in one week. Davante Adams achieved a crazy goal on Sunday thanks to a trade. That allowed him to play on a team that lost to Pittsburgh in back-to-back weeks just seven calendar days apart.
- On Sunday, October 13th, the Las Vegas Raiders lost to the Steelers 32-13. Although Adams was healthy, he was inactive because he was on the trade block.
- On Sunday, October 20th, in Adams' first game against the Jets, the New York Jets lost 37-15 to the Steelers. He caught three passes for 30 yards but didn't make much of an impact.
To be fair, none of this is Davante's fault. He can't control the defense on either team, and he can't magically force the quarterback to do his job better. Still, it's worth noting that there are situations where a player plays against the same team seven games apart and loses twice.
Maybe Adams should have found a way to be traded to Pittsburgh. That might have been a better career move for him than joining Rodgers with the Jets, who are currently 2-5.
