Las Vegas Raiders vs Kansas City Chiefs 2022 Week 5: Studs and Duds

Stud – Maxx Crosby

We have officially run out of superlatives for Maxx Crosby but once again he was the Raiders’ best defensive player on Monday night. There was concern he might miss this game due to the birth of his child but thankfully baby Crosby decided to keep baking in the oven for another couple of days.

Future dad Maxx was excellent against KC as he impacted the game in so many ways but came through in a big way with 2 sacks on Patrick Mahomes. He added another 3 tackles for loss and 2 QB hits to his season tally and was clearly the focus of the KC offensive line.

When he wasn’t being blatantly held by offensive linemen he was chipped by tight ends but was still able to impact the game. Crosby now gets some much-deserved rest during the bye week and we hope to see him continue to destroy QBs in Week 7 and beyond.
