The Los Angeles Rams lost to the Carolina Panthers in Week 13, but in the loss, Davante Adams continued to shine for the Rams' wide receiver room.

Adams hauled in two touchdowns from Matthew Stafford, extending his receiving touchdown streak to six games, and adding to his incredible season total with 14 touchdowns through 12 games played.

As Underdog NFL shared after the game, Adams' 14th touchdown of the season in the Rams' 12th game had Adams join some exclusive NFL history alongside Terrell Owens and Jerry Rice.

Adams caught his 14th touchdown of the season, making it his second season in his NFL career with 14 touchdown receptions in a season through 12 weeks.

That statistic joins Rice and Owens as the only players in NFL history to record at least 14 touchdowns through 12 games in a season.

Puka Nacua has been the receiver drawing a lot of attention all year with his highlight plays, but Adams' consistency and touchdown production have been nothing short of incredible.

During his six-game touchdown reception streak, Adams has had 11 touchdowns, including one three-touchdown game, three two-touchdown games, and two one-touchdown games.

Through 12 games, Adams has 52 receptions for 689 yards and 14 touchdowns. Adams has been a red-zone weapon for the Rams, as Sean McVay and the offense have found ways to dominate in the red zone thanks to Adams and the run game.

The Adams signing has been an incredible one for the Rams thus far, and if he continues to play this well the rest of the season, Adams could be in line for an extension and potentially some more NFL records.
