The Las Vegas Raiders picked up a much-needed 20-16 victory over the Cleveland Browns in Week 4, improving their record to 2-2 after a demoralizing loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 3.
Las Vegas' defense turned in an elite performance on Sunday, while Gardner Minshew and the offense did just enough to come away with the team's first home victory of the 2024 campaign.
Though the Raiders' second victory of the season was the big story yesterday, head coach Antonio Pierce's recent activity on social media has raised some eyebrows.
Sports Illustrated uploaded an Instagram post about superstar wide receiver Davante Adams' future in Las Vegas on Monday.
The post seemed to be just another Adams trade speculation piece to gain engagement, but many fans noticed something extremely intriguing when searching through the likes of the social media post.
It appears that Pierce liked the Sports Illustrated post about Adams' uncertain future with the Raiders, as the first-year head coach's verified Instagram handle is present on the post's thousands of likes. The former NFL linebacker did unlike the post shortly after it was discovered, though.

Though Pierce's like on the Instagram post is likely accidental, it will only raise more questions about Davante Adams and his shaky future with the team. The six-time Pro Bowler has been in trade rumors for over a year, and if the Raiders aren't a serious contender by the trade deadline, Adams' availability on the market will be a top story.
Adams didn't play in Las Vegas' win over the Browns on Sunday and is considered week-to-week with a hamstring injury, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
