While his efforts are greatly appreciated and while Adams remains focused on simply winning ball games, his performance hit a new career milestone.

Adams Speaks on Playing With Rams

During the week, Davante Adams spoke to reporters regarding his week one play and his thoughts on playing with the franchise.

“I think you look at the tape, there was a lot of good stuff there," stated Adams. "We obviously didn't get to light up the stat sheet how we can. ‘We’ meaning myself and my own contribution. It's hard to talk about I and use that, but you'll have games where Puka goes out there and has 130 [yards] and misses however much time throughout the game and still can go out there and light it up like that. I'm just concerned about winning at the end of the day."

"I know my fantasy owners are not too excited about it when it happens like that, but unfortunately that's not in the forefront of my mind. I know they think it is. I'm just out here trying to win games and contribute and make plays when I can. Obviously trying to make the most plays with all the opportunities that I'm going to be given."

"Certain times if they want to cheat coverage and have [Texans Cornerback Derek] Stingley follow me or whatever it is, then Puka and the rest of the gang will be able to be given more opportunities. I'm sure there'll be times when he's lighting it up and they say, ‘Alright let's try to tilt over there, maybe we'll stop that, see if that works.’ Then I'll be one-on-one and have a lot more opportunities as well. It's a long season and I think everybody here knows that.”
