Raiders star Maxx Crosby takes brutal NSFW shot at Joey Bosa for being a ‘crybaby’
Las Vegas Raiders pass-rusher Maxx Crosby had an unfiltered message for Los Angeles Chargers’ Joey Bosa, igniting the start of a vicious AFC West rivalry.
The Las Vegas Raiders put together one of their worst franchise records in recent history in 2022, but that didn’t stop Maxx Crosby from laying it down on a division rival.
While Las Vegas was eliminated from the playoffs early on, the Chargers were pitted against the Jacksonville Jaguars for an exciting matchup that, by the second half, turned into quite the disaster. Suffice to say, Chargers fans everywhere were less than pleased by the team’s unbelievable meltdown.
Up 27-7 at the half, the Chargers blew a seemingly insurmountable lead, allowing Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence to lead a historic comeback to win the game, 31-30.
Afterward, Chargers’ defensive end Joey Bosa went off on the referees. Raiders’ Maxx Crosby was not a fan of Bosa’s constant begging for calls during the game and called him a weak “crybaby”:
“S**t like that is so weak to me. You’re gonna get held. I get held all the time but I’m not gonna double down and look like a little f***ing crybaby.”
Joey Bosa gets steam-rolled by rival Maxx Crosby for whining to the refs in Wild Card game
Is it ‘Pick on Joey Bosa’ week or something? Philadelphia Eagles fans were also caught heckling Bosa at the NFC Championship when Bosa went to support his brother, San Francisco 49ers’ Nick Bosa.
The Eagles thrashed the 49ers 31-7, so it’s just a bad time to be a Bosa right now.
Going back to the Chargers-Jaguars game, Bosa was visibly upset with the officiating throughout the game and even slammed his helmet twice to pick up a careless unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
In Bosa’s defense, there were a few times when he was getting held by a Jaguars offensive lineman and the referee let the game play on.
In Crosby’s defense, it’s an NFL playoff game. The referees are bound to make mistakes at some point, but at the end of the day, teams aren’t normally handed victories. In high-stakes postseason matchups, games are won or lost by player performances and no amount of whining will change the score.
