Raiders open with touchdown after Davante Adams burns Jalen Ramsey
Davante Adams vs. Jalen Ramsey figured to be a game within the game on Thursday Night Football as the Las Vegas Raiders faced the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium.
It didn’t take long for the Raiders’ elite wide receiver to score a flash knockdown on their first drive.
Derek Carr went deep for Adams, who burned Ramsey with a one-hand catch. Adding insult to Ramsey’s effort, he was flagged for pass interference on the 32-yard play.
