Two NFL veterans were seen 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 held back from each other on the sidelines.
There isn’t much any NFL team is playing for in Week 17 besides draft position, but tensions were high after Giants receiver Wan’Dale Robinson made a catch and Adams came running over after the play was over near the Giants’ sideline.
Adams and a Giants coach ended up coming face to face, and although it was unknown what was said, Winston was quick to jump right into the middle of the scrum of Giants players and Adams.

It got to the point where Winston and Adams both pushed each other while getting in each other’s faces. This went on for quite some time before the referees had to intervene on the sidelines.
Winston continued to scream at Adams as Giants teammates began pulling him away from the situation. Regardless of what was said, Winston clearly ticked off while Adams seemed to wonder what caused the situation to rise to this level of frustration.
This game between the Giants and Raiders involves the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, as New York would secure that pick with a road loss. They would move to 2-14 on the season with a matchup 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 face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18. A loss to the Raiders doesn’t guarantee the pick like the Giants do due to strength of schedule, although their chances at No. 1 would be much higher in Week 18.

Obviously, neither team wants to be in this situation, but that’s the unfortunate reality with only two games left.
While both teams could certainly use the top pick next April, the Raiders would especially like it considering they are in the quarterback market. They have Geno Smith on 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 the record says for New York.
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, after quick scoring by Devin Singletary and Jaxson Dart, have a 17–3 lead over the Raiders.
