Patrick Mahomes Names Maxx Crosby NFL's Best Pass Rusher

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has repeatedly named Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby as the toughest and best pass rusher he has faced in the NFL. Mahomes highlighted Crosby's rare combination of effort, skill, and moves, noting Crosby has sacked him more than any other defender, with five sacks in nine games against the Chiefs. Despite their fierce AFC West rivalry, Mahomes expressed deep respect for Crosby's craft and competitiveness, acknowledging the intense but respectful nature of their matchups. Crosby, a two-time All-Pro and Pro Bowler, has also praised Mahomes as the best quarterback in football, underscoring mutual respect amid their divisional battles. While Crosby has consistently disrupted offenses with his speed and power, the Chiefs have maintained dominance in the rivalry with a 7-1 record over the last four years. Their next meeting is scheduled for Week 7, promising another highly competitive showdown between these elite players and teams.
