Davante Adams remembers the big game he had against New Mexico with Derek Carr as his quarterback at Fresno State.

It was on Nov. 23, 2013.

That night, Adams scored four touchdowns on 246 receiving yards to help the Bulldogs to a 69-28 victory that clinched a Mountain West title berth.

Adams’ touchdowns went for 57, 44, 59 and 39 yards. Carr, meanwhile, finished with 522 yards and seven touchdowns.

On Tuesday, Adams took to Instagram, tagging Carr in a story of video highlights from that dominant night to show Raider Nation what could be on the horizon for the duo’s Las Vegas reunion.

The Raiders acquired Adams from the Green Bay Packers in March, reuniting the former Fresno State stars.

Both are excited to be teammates once again, but said there is a lot of work to be done in Las Vegas.
