Maxx Crosby and the Raiders know that they will have to go through Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs to get where they plan to go under Jon Gruden.
The Raiders didn't have any answers for Mahomes last season. He threw four touchdown passes in the second quarter of a Week 2 win at the Coliseum and the Raiders were pantsed 40-9 in Kansas City in Week 14 at Arrowhead Stadium.
Crosby had a stellar rookie campaign in which he notched 10 sacks and announced himself as a building block for Paul Guenther's defense.
