The Las Vegas Raiders fell to 1-4 after the loss on Monday Night Football and it seems that frustrations are starting to boil over with the team. This season as a member of the Raiders, Davante Adams has caught 29 passes for 414 yards and five touchdowns on 54 targets. Despite his top-level play, the Raiders are still losing games.
