From his first snap to his last, Maxx Crosby was nightmare for the Ravens. The very first play of the game, he stuffed a run at the line. With 12 seconds left in the game, he got a pressure on Lamar Jackson to help force an incompletion.
And everything in between was more of the same. His heroics were a key factor in the Raiders pulling out a shocking 26-23 win over the Ravens in Baltimore. And for his efforts, he’s been awarded AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors.
And he’s just getting started 🦅
Congratulations to @CrosbyMaxx on being named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week! #RaiderNation

His final numbers were two sacks, six tackles, four tackles for loss, two QB hits, and a batted pass. Just an across-the-board dominating day.
His first sack was on the fourth play of the game. His second sack came after the Raiders tied it up at 23-23 in the fourth. On that sack he came up the middle on a stunt and right into Lamar Jackson’s face to put him on his back and help get the Raiders the ball back with enough time to drive for the win.
