NFL veterans engage in heated brawl during Raiders-Giants game

NEWYou can now listen to PK Press Club articles!

Two NFL veterans were spotted getting into a screaming match in Las Vegas on Sunday night, as Raiders safety Jamal Adams and New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston had to be kept apart from each other on the sidelines.

There isn’t much the two NFL teams are playing for in Week 17 other than draft position, but tensions ran high after Giants receiver Wan’Dale Robinson made a catch and Adams came running after the play ended near the Giants sideline.

Adams and a Giants coach came face to face, and although it was unclear what was being said, Winston was quick to jump into the middle of the melee of Giants players and Adams.

It got to the point where Winston and Adams were both shoving each other, while getting in each other’s faces. This lasted for some time before the referees were forced to intervene on the sidelines.

Winston continued to yell at Adams, as Giants teammates began to pull him away from the situation. Regardless, Winston was clearly upset, while Adams seemed to wonder what had brought the situation to such a frustrating level.

This matchup between the Giants and Raiders involves the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, as New York would secure that selection in the event of a road loss. They would improve to 2-14 on the season with a game against the Dallas Cowboys at home ending their season in Week 18.

On the other hand, the Raiders currently own the same 2-13 record as the Giants, and they will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18. A Raiders loss doesn’t guarantee the pick like the Giants due to the strength of the schedule, although their No. 1 chances would be much higher heading into Week 18.

Obviously neither team wants to find themselves in this situation, but that’s the unfortunate reality with only two games remaining.

While both teams could certainly use this first round pick next April, the Raiders would particularly like it given that they are in the market for quarterbacks. They have Geno Smith for another year, but they don’t have a quarterback of the future waiting in the wings.

At the same time, the Giants like what they’ve seen from their own first-round rookie quarterback in Dart, who has shined despite what New York’s record says.

Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza and Oregon’s Dante Moore appear to be the top options, according to most draft experts.

At halftime of this contest, the Giants, following rushing scores from Devin Singletary and Jaxson Dart, had a 17-3 lead over the Raiders.
