Why the Las Vegas Raiders beat Denver in 2022 Week 11

No answer for Madd Maxx

In big games, especially within the division, you need your star players to step up and dominate when it matters the most. For Maxx Crosby, this was a signature game in what has been a potential Hall of Fame career early on.

Crosby absolutely dominated the Denver offensive line, made an impact in special teams, and it seemed like anytime the Raiders needed a big play, there he was. He has blossomed into a superstar since being a Day 3 pick in 2019, and it was clear that he was the best defensive player on the field on Sunday.

In a season where the defense has struggled in a big way, Crosby continues to move his stock forward and has become the heart and soul of this Raiders defense. Sunday was just another example of how far he has come as a player, and there is no way Las Vegas wins that game if he is not out there.
