Las Vegas Raiders defensive standout Maxx Crosby shared a lighthearted but revealing take on his physical battles with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes during a recent podcast appearance. With 6.5 career sacks and 49 quarterback pressures against Mahomes, Crosby has more than enough experience to describe the two-time MVP’s reactions when hit.
He recounted how Mahomes often rolls over after contact, making eye contact with Crosby as if checking his opponent’s response—while Crosby maintains a defiant presence right in his face. The edge rusher also playfully suggested Mahomes emits a sound resembling a groan when tackled, though he quickly backed off when pressed to label it a 'moan.' The exchange highlighted the mutual respect between two elite competitors, even as Crosby acknowledged landing multiple hard hits during their latest matchup, which the Chiefs won 30–27 at Allegiant Stadium.
Crosby’s observations paint a vivid picture of Mahomes’ composure under pressure, blending physicality with psychological engagement. The Raiders’ pass rusher framed their on-field dynamic as a mix of competitive banter and relentless pursuit, underscoring how Mahomes’ ability to stay composed—even when audibly reacting—contributes to his sustained success.
While Crosby’s comments were delivered with humor, they also underscored the high-stakes nature of their one-on-one battles, where every tackle could shift the momentum of a game.
