In a 24-0 loss to the Saints last week, Davante Adams had just one catch for three yards. They are making up for it early against the Jaguars.
Adams jumped out to catch five passes on five targets for 63 yards. Then he did this.

Adams wasn’t really open. He had the DB in his hip pocket. But Carr threw a perfect pass, Adams didn’t give away the timing up the arrival of the ball, and thus the DB never had the chance to turn and look for it. Adams made the catch and scored easily from 25 yards out.
The catch gave the Raiders a 7-0 lead, which is seven more points they scored last week and with Adams putting up five more catches for 85 more yards.
And it is just two drives into the game.
That’s more like what we expect from Carr and Adams and what the Raiders hoped to see from their offense.
