Crosby finished the game with one sack, but it was his four tackles for a loss that earned him the award. This is the fifth time in Crosby’s career that the has taken home one of these awards given out by the NFL.

Crosby is off to a fantastic start this season, recording five sacks and eight tackles for a loss. According to Pro Football Focus, he has the second-most pressures in the NFL, only behind Aidan Hutchinson.
The Raiders are off to a bit of a slow start this year, but the defense has looked much improved compared to last season. Crosby deserves a lot of credit there for his constant pressure and ability to stop the run.
