Heartbreak in the NFC Championship Game
Adams reflected on his journey in the NFL, describing reaching the Super Bowl as “almost like a mythical thing.” Having played in four NFC Championship Games as a member of the Green Bay Packers, he is now 0-5 when a trip to the Super Bowl was at stake.

Emotional Aftermath
After the game, Adams displayed raw emotions in the locker room. He conveyed to reporters that the loss was heart-wrenching, largely given his previous experiences. “It’s tough to focus on that right now,” he admitted.

Adams praised his teammates for their determination and effort throughout the year. “I love this team, love what this team is about and love the fight that we had all year,” he stated. However, he acknowledged the disappointment of coming up short when it mattered most.
Adams’ Record in Playoffs
In the 31-27 loss to the Seahawks, Adams contributed with a touchdown catch, marking his ninth postseason touchdown.
