Chargers head coach Brandon Staley might have escaped with a victory in Week 3, but he might not get so lucky against a divisional opponent. 

LA returns to SoFi Stadium for their Week 4 contest, where Las Vegas All-Pro Davante Adams believes it'll be the Raiders rebounding with a 2-2 record after their Week 3 loss. 

"Yeah, it's not happening to the degree that we want it to happen. It's not just about the Sunday or the Saturday before the game cleaning things up. You've got to be locked in and attentive to all the things that go into a winning week. We're trying to do things the right way, but I know that there's another level that we can tap into.

Vegas might not have their starting quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, for the divisional clash after his concussion in week 3. Still, Adams remains a tough cover regardless of who's throwing him the ball. 

The All-Pro wide receiver exploded for 13 catches and over 170 yards, accounting for both of the Raiders' touchdowns in their close loss to Pittsburgh last Sunday night. 

Doubters have quickly been quieted through his first two seasons in the AFC after the star wideout has proven just as productive without Aaron Rodgers throwing his way. 

Comments surfaced that the former Fresno State product was tired of losing and didn't have time to figure out how to solve it. 

Adams later clarified his words in the press conference, claiming his sentiment was misconstrued by many as a shot toward his coaching staff and front office, 

The Bolts again have their hands full with another talented wideout after just dealing with Justin Jefferson last week. 

Green Bay's former All-Pro poses yet another challenge to said group that the Chargers will need to meet to go 2-2 like both teams surely desire.
