Maxx Crosby doesn’t need any extra motivation when Patrick Mahomes is standing on the other side of the field. With the Kansas City Chiefs coming to Las Vegas this weekend, the Raiders star made his feelings clear about another meeting with Mahomes.
Maxx Crosby is ready for another shot at Mahomes
The Raiders are 3-0 after another road win, this time against the New Orleans Saints. Crosby was pleased with the victory, but his attention quickly shifted to Kansas City.
“It’s over. Next time. Next time we go,” Crosby said “The Rush With Maxx Crosby.” “We already know what time it is. KC week.”
Crosby and Mahomes have seen a lot over the years as rivals in the AFC West. When asked what it is about facing Mahomes that makes him stand out, Crosby pointed to the competitiveness of both players.
“I think it’s just the competitors,” Crosby said. “There are levels of competitors in this league and there’s no higher league than the NFL and you get the best of the best.”
There is also a little more hope this time around.
Crosby explained that he was banged in the first meeting in Kansas City last season and didn’t really play the way he wanted to. Neither Crosby nor Mahomes played in the second game.
It’s been a while since the two were really enemies.
“I know we’re both looking forward to it,” Crosby said. “I respect the s— out of him. He knows what it is. It’s war. There’s no other words needed.”
