Crosby and Cousins Clash Again | Cincinnati News

Maxx Crosby’s fiery intensity just got him benched—again. After allegedly hitting QB Kirk Cousins twice during practice, the Raiders’ defensive star and Cousins clashed violently, leading to both being held out by coach Klint Kubiak for violating team rules. Rookie Fernando Mendoza now gets first-team reps, raising concerns about development timing. Crosby’s aggressive streak isn’t new—he’s been pushing boundaries since college, even earning a warning from Jon Gruden. While Crosby admits he sometimes crosses the line, his raw drive fuels his success—but unchecked aggression is costing him penalties and jeopardizing team chemistry. Time to dial it down—or risk losing more than just reps. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
