Maxx Crosby Previews Raiders-Chiefs Rematch

Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby is looking forward to playing the Kansas City Chiefs again.

The Las Vegas Raiders are set to play the Kansas City Chiefs for their second meeting this season this afternoon.

The Raiders dropped their first game this season with the Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, 31-17. This game is a must-win game if the Silver and Black want to stay alive in the postseason hunt.

Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby is looking forward to this game, as his rivalry with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has grown over the years. The two always bring out their best against one another.

Crosby spoke about the rivalry and what the Raiders need to do to win the game on the most recent episode of his podcast, The Rush with Maxx Crosby.

“At the end of the day, I’ve been looking forward to seeing them again,” Crosby said. “Obviously, the first time, I had a f–ing peg leg, and I wasn’t 100 percent. I wasn’t able to fully affect the game the way I wanted to, so I’ve been looking forward to this game. I don’t circle one game on the calendar or the schedule; I circle the whole thing, but every time we play a division game, especially KC, you know what comes with that. So, I have to be at my absolute best. Everybody should expect that, but I know everybody is going to be dialed in and ready to rock. It’s going to be a special environment, Christmas Day, we’re fired up.”

The Raiders have lost 10 of their last 11 against the Chiefs, their last win against their rivals coming in 2020. With a tough stretch of games coming up, the Raiders know how important this game is.

The Silver and Black are looking to replicate their performance from 11 days ago against the Los Angeles Chargers, when they scored a franchise-record 63 points. Crosby and the defense must also be sharp against Mahomes and the offense led by Coach Andy Reid.

Crosby always brings his best against the Chiefs, looking to take down a division rival. In his career against Kansas City, he has 31 total tackles, 11 tackles for losses, 10 quarterback hits and five sacks. He has recorded a sack against the Chiefs in each of the last three games.
