The Las Vegas Raiders’ defensive end Maxx Crosby, who created havoc in the Green Bay Packers’ backfield for the duration of Monday Night Football, was awarded the AFC’s Defensive Player of the Week honors after his Week 5 performance against the green and gold. On the box score for the game, Crosby was credited with four tackles for loss and a sack in the 17-13 win.
Crosby’s success on Monday was frustrating for Packers fans, who had heard all week that the offense really only needed to have a gameplan for the Raiders’ singular stud on the defensive side of the ball.
