The Las Vegas Raiders escaped Baltimore with a season-defining win against the Ravens (we know, it’s only Week 2). Here were five dominant performances from the Silver and Black. After a disappointing loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, the Raiders headed to Baltimore in a matchup that few favored Las Vegas.
It looked like Deja Vu as the offense struggled in the first half, but everything shifted in the second half. In the passing game, a completely vast and dynamic offense exploded, leading to a close matchup victory . A certain Raiders player is already making a case for DPOY No.
1 Maxx Crosby He is unquestionably the franchise’s most important player and the face of the team. Maxx Crosby is embarking on the Defensive Player of the Year award this season. This game will undoubtedly help him plead his case at the end of the year.
Crosby was obviously his usual self, dominating the Ravens’ offensive front with two sacks. Additionally, Crosby exerted a devastating tackle on Ravens running back Derrick Henry, which made a statement. The box score won’t show his belief in Gardner Minshew.
When Minshew threw an interception, Crosby demonstrated his great leadership and showed gratitude when it mattered most. LEADERSHIP: Right after an interception, #Raiders star Maxx Crosby went over to QB Gardner Minshew to HYPE HIM UP & LET HIM KNOW IT WILL ALL BE OKAY. @CrosbyMaxx one of the best teammates in the league.
