“We just got to mix it up a little better,” said Adams, who had seven receptions for 57 yards. “I just think it’s about just keeping the defense honest and making it a little easier on the quarterback.

“We got to do it as wideouts. We got to get the run game going, and there are all these things we’ve been struggling with all year (that) is making it tougher on the quarterback.”

Las Vegas played without Jimmy Garoppolo because of a back injury. Brian Hoyer started in Garoppolo’s place and threw two interceptions, including one that was intended for Adams, but instead was returned by Jaylon Johnson for a 39-yard touchdown with 5:36 left.

It was a blown opportunity for the Raiders (3-4), who had won two in a row. Tyson Bagent, an undrafted rookie free agent from Division 2 Shepherd University, made his first NFL start for the Bears in the team’s first home win in almost 13 months.

“I don’t think it was that we weren’t ready to play,” Las Vegas coach Josh McDaniels said. “I think our guys had energy and juice. We were excited for this opportunity. Like I said, we lost control of the line of scrimmage and then we kind of were playing the game backward. That’s not really a formula that has suited us.”

The 30-year-old Adams was acquired in a March 2022 trade with Green Bay for first- and second-round draft picks. The All-Pro receiver caught 100 passes for 1,516 yards and 14 touchdowns in his first season with Las Vegas.
