Full Transcript
Maxx Crosby's performance continues to shine amidst the Las Vegas Raiders' struggles this season. Despite the team's disappointing record of 2-11 following a heavy 31-0 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Crosby managed to record his tenth sack of the season during the game, showcasing his ability to impact plays even when the team falters.
Crosby, a two-time All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowler, has been a standout player throughout the season, accumulating 26 tackles for loss, the most in the NFL since he entered the league in 2019. His resilience is particularly commendable as he played through a knee injury, often opting out of practice to ensure he could compete on game days.
After the game in Philadelphia, Crosby expressed admiration for the city’s passionate football culture, highlighting how special it was to play at Lincoln Financial Field, despite the outcome. His contract, which extends through 2029, indicates the Raiders' commitment to keeping him as a cornerstone of the franchise, even with trade inquiries from the Dallas Cowboys reportedly made ahead of the season's deadline.
