NFL fans were up in arms Monday night after a pair of defensive pass interference calls against the Chiefs on Raiders star Davante Adams.
Monday Night Football viewers took to social media to debate the circumstances surrounding the calls, which came at the start of the second quarter on two of the first three plays of the Raiders’ second drive of the night. Facing third-and-four from the Kansas City 42-yard line, quarterback Derek Carr lofted a deep ball to Adams who drew a tough PI on Chiefs cornerback Rashad Fenton for 25 yards to extend the series.
After a tackle for loss by Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark on the ensuing play, Adams influenced another PI, this time on Chiefs rookie corner Jaylen Watson in the end zone for 23 yards. Fans inside Arrowhead Stadium were not too pleased with the play as the replay showed Adams coming back to catch an underthrown ball over the top of Watson while he was facing the All-Pro receiver.
