Unlocking Secrets: What They Don’t Want You to Know About [Article Topic]

Here’s a picture worth a thousand words—or maybe a few thousand tackles and touchdowns, too. Maxx Crosby, the relentless defensive force for the Las Vegas Raiders, flashing a rare smile at Chicago Bears’ rising star Caleb Williams during a game that marked a turning point for both teams. You ever wonder what goes through a fierce competitor’s mind when he nods at the very player whose team’s success is adding salt to his own squad’s wounds? With the Raiders floundering after seven losses in nine games, and the Bears on a tear since their Week 4 victory, Crosby’s candid take on Williams and coach Ben Johnson’s magic touch is a breath of fresh honesty amid the noise. Let’s dive into what’s stirring beneath that grin—and whether the Raiders’ fiery edge can yet be reignited before their season fades away.

The Las Vegas Raiders‘ season is just about cooked following a Week 10 loss to the Denver Broncos that was their seventh in nine games. With a Week 11 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on “Monday Night Football,” they can’t afford another loss if they have any hopes of turning things around.

Regardless of how good or bad the Raiders are, Maxx Crosby is never one to hide his feelings. The defensive end recently had some thoughts about how well the Chicago Bears are playing since defeating the Raiders in Week 4.

Crosby revealed his thoughts about Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson, as the quarterback has taken the next step in his development under the new head coach.

“Caleb, he’s got all the talent in the world. He’s got all the ability. Ben Johnson is not stupid, bro. He knows what he wants and what he likes and how he sees it. The quarterback is not the problem. He’s talented as f***, and you’re seeing it. Especially a young guy doing it in the clutch like that, that’s a really good sign,” Crosby said.

The Bears have won six of their past seven games, and their win against the Raiders looks like the jumping-off point. The comeback victory laid the groundwork for the run the team is on now.

The Raiders haven’t had that kind of success, and their offense has been a failure in the first year under head coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith. Crosby has to be frustrated, but it hasn’t shown in his play.

He has 37 combined tackles, 5.0 sacks, one forced fumble, and his first NFL interception. Hopefully for Raiders fans, he can add to those totals and help his team keep its season alive.
