Maxx Crosby Smoked Celebratory Cigar on Postgame Set After Raiders’ Beatdown of Chargers

Raiders star Maxx Crosby joined Amazon Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football after the dominant 63–21 victory against the rival Chargers, and he quickly made himself comfortable on the postgame set.

Crosby arrived to the set shirtless with a cigar in hand, where he joined Charissa Thompson, Tony Gonzalez, Andrew Whitworth, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Richard Sherman to break down Las Vegas’s win. 

The Raiders set a franchise record for the most points scored (63) in a single game. The defense forced three fumbles and had a pick-six against the Easton Stick-led Los Angeles offense. 

Crosby, as usual, carried more than his share of the load on defense, registering four tackles, one tackle for loss, and two quarterback hits.

He spoke highly of Antonio Pierce after the big win, praising the Raiders’ interim head coach and making clear that he has the team’s support.

“I believe it was George Atkinson who said, ‘There’s 31 teams and then there’s the Raiders,’ and I feel like AP embodies exactly what the Raiders represent,” Crosby said.

“We love AP and we just want to keep winning for him,” he added. 

Thursday night wasn’t the first time Las Vegas has celebrated an important win with some victory cigars, having done so in the locker room throughout the season. 

It should come as no surprised that Crosby and company busted them back out after dropping 63 points on a division rival in prime time.
