Familiarity breeds contempt, but perhaps not in the case of Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The two faces of their respective franchises have battled numerous times over the years, as the Raiders have tried to bring an end to the Chiefs’ divisional supremacy in the AFC West. In 12 games against Kansas City, Crosby has gotten six sacks against the Chiefs. Despite Kansas City getting the better of the Raiders more often than not, Crosby has always been a thorn in their side.
While their rivalry on the field has gotten plenty of attention, Mahomes has given Crosby high praise for his efforts.
