Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos: 3 Players to Watch in Week 17
By Alex Perl
Maxx Crosby
It is pretty impressive when you lead your team in sacks as a rookie, especially when you were a fourth round pick. With 8.5 sacks, Maxx Crosby is doing just that, the only problem has been the lack of production from Crosby in the last few weeks.
With only one sack in the last four weeks, the Raiders are in need of Crosby to get to rookie quarterback Drew Lock often. This will be key to stifling the Broncos chances in this one, as pressuring and sacking Lock will be needed to mask what has been one of the most giving secondaries in terms of yardage in all of football.
With it being Week 17, Madd Maxx should give his all in this one and will have to if the Raiders want to have any chance of getting a win and playoff berth. He has proven himself to be one of the heartbeats of this defense all season long, and you can bet that he is going to leave nothing on the field this Sunday inside Mile High.
