Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams shoved a man carrying equipment to the ground after his team lost a close NFL game to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night.
The shove, which happened as Adams walked to the locker room, was captured on video, and quickly went viral. The players offered an apology on social media.
“Sorry to the guy I pushed over after the game. Obviously very frustrated at the way the game ended and when he ran infront of me as I exited that was my reaction and I felt horrible immediately. Thats not me..MY APOLOGIES man hope you see this,” Adams tweeted after the game.

The man who was shoved appeared to be uninjured, according to NBC Sports, which reported Adams had two touchdowns and 124 receiving yards on three catches during the game in Kansas City.

However his strong performance was overshadowed by his team’s 30-29 loss to the Chiefs, a division rival who came back from a 17-point deficit. Near the end of the game, a long third-down pass to Adams that would have put the Raiders in field goal range was reviewed and ruled incomplete, according to ESPN.
The Raiders now have a 1-4 record and lead the division, while the Chiefs are at the bottom with 4-1.
