Crosby on Carrying Momentum into Kansas City

Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby said the team is playing cohesively and needs to carry that into their game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Las Vegas Raiders are looking to carry the momentum from their dominant victory over the Los Angeles Chargers into Monday’s game at Arrowhead Stadium against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Raiders scored a franchise-record 63 points their last time out, with every level of the team performing well. The Raiders have not had much success against the Chiefs in several years but have the chance to pull off the upset if they can continue to perform at a high level.

The Chiefs have struggled recently, so the Raiders could have an excellent opportunity. Defensive end Maxx Crosby spoke about the team playing cohesively and how they can carry that momentum into this game on the most recent episode of his podcast, The Rush with Maxx Crosby.

“For us, it’s about finishing in the second half, so it’s a credit to the coaching staff and the players,” Crosby said. “We didn’t let up at all. We continued to go out there and kept pushing the tempo from start to finish. It wasn’t perfect, but you have to give a huge credit to the offense. Bo [Hardegree], our new OC dialing s— up, Tre Tucker scoring two touchdowns, Davante [Adams] getting over 100 yards, Jakobi [Meyers] with the insane diving catch for a touchdown. You just see guys stepping up weekly, and we didn’t even have Josh Jacobs this week, either. Zamir White steps up and makes a big impact, scores a touchdown, and you just see guys feeding off of each other’s energy.

“All three phases of the game we dominated, and that was the result we got. So, going into KC, you can’t ride this roller coaster. It can’t be: ‘Oh my god, we win one game, and we’re on top of the world,’ and then we lay an egg. It has to be: ‘What’s that next level we can get to?’ 

"I’m not saying we’re going to score 66 points next week, but at the end of the day, we have to find a way to improve because we’re playing a better team. KC is legit; they’re the reigning Super Bowl champs, and we’ve already played them before. But I’m definitely looking forward to the challenge. We know we have to win.”
