Maxx Crosby Disses Fernando Mendoza as Raiders Eye Playoff Return

Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby took a jab at rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza. A blockbuster trade with the Baltimore Ravens fell through after Crosby failed his physical due to a lingering knee issue.

The collapse forced the Las Vegas franchise to refocus on its own defensive core. Now the team is banking on Crosby’s presence and Mendoza’s potential to revive their postseason hopes.

Fans are optimistic that the duo can push the Raiders back into the playoff conversation.
