It’s been that kind of season for Davante Adams.
The superstar wideout has gone over 100 yards just once this season, and hasn’t scored since September in a huge game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He’s been targeted in the double digits just three times this year, absurd for a receiver of his caliber.
It all came to a head on Monday night in the Las Vegas Raiders’ loss to the Detroit Lions. Adams saw seven targets … and had just one catch. You couldn’t blame him for being frustrated, and that’s what we saw thanks to Monday Night Football cameras and his postgame talk with reporters:

He didn’t know what to say after the loss, choosing not to say what was going on in his mind beyond “frustration.”

And with moments like these, you can’t blame him:
