In the locker room after the incident, Adams apologized.
"I want to apologize to the guy, there was some guy running off the field, and he ran, like, jumped in front of me coming off the field and I bumped into him, kind of pushed him, and he ended up on the ground," Adams said. "So I wanted to say sorry to him for that because that was just frustration mixed with him literally just running in front of me. I shouldn't have responded that way, but that's how I initially responded. So, I want to apologize to him for that."
Adams reiterated his apology on Twitter shortly after the game.
