Maxx Crosby put on a show for Raider Nation

Crosby made sure that fans (particularly Raider Nation) got their money’s worth here at Allegiant and also the ones watching from home.

All in all, Crosby had arguably the best game of a defender today. The way Crosby just flew past blockers and spun his way towards fellow Pro Bowl quarterbacks was a thing of beauty, and the home crowd loved it. Crosby is a true competitor, and for him, this was a game, so his objective of getting to the quarterback didn’t change.

It’s refreshing to see how far Crosby has come in his career. A humble leader that holds his team accountable, there’s no doubt he’ll be key as the Raiders undergo a new era under Josh McDaniels.

At the end of the day, Crosby had a total of two sacks, helping to seal the deal for the AFC. For those efforts, Crosby was awarded the honor of Pro Bowl Defensive MVP alongside Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who took home the same title on offense.
