Davante Adams was so furious after Monday’s loss to the Chiefs that he put two hands on a man’s chest and pushed him to the ground … though he apologized for his actions moments later.
The shocking scene came after Las Vegas’ 30-29 loss to Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium when Adams tried to leave the field to return to the locker room.

As the Raiders superstar headed toward the stadium tunnel, a man holding a tripod with a camera stood in his way … and that’s when the Vegas wide receiver shoved the guy so hard he fell.
Two videos taken from inside the stadium show the guy slumped over on the concrete carpet … and Adams didn’t even try to help him up.

But moments later in his locker, Adams told the media that he regretted everything.

“I want to apologize to the guy,” Adams said. “There was a guy running off the field and he ran, like, jumped in front of me coming off the field and I kind of bumped into him and kind of kicked him and he was on the ground.”
“So I wanted to apologize to him for that, because it was just frustration mixed with the fact that he was literally just running in front of me. I shouldn’t have reacted that way, but I did initially. So, I want to apologize to him for that.”
Adams, who scored two touchdowns in the loss, later tweeted another apology … saying he “felt terrible right away” about the whole thing.
There’s no word yet on whether the 29-year-old will face any punishment for the incident … though he can likely expect a fine to come at some point later this week.
