And just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, they had to watch their “can’t-do-it-without-him” guy, hobble off the field with an injury that had everyone cringing. Adams was basically the engine that was revving up the Raiders’ offense this season. It felt like everything good that happened on the offensive side of the ball had Adams written all over it.
