Although Patrick Mahomes boasts a 10-1 record in his career against the Las Vegas Raiders, a compelling rivalry has developed between him and defensive end Maxx Crosby. While the two players share mutual respect, their interactions on the field have occasionally become heated.
In anticipation of the Christmas Day matchup between the Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs, CBS Sports released a hype video on December 21, highlighting the ongoing rivalry between these two Pro Bowl athletes. The video has generated significant excitement as the Week 16 clash approaches.

While the Raiders may be unlikely contenders for the playoffs, securing an upset victory against the defending Super Bowl champions would greatly enhance interim head coach Antonio Pierce’s prospects of securing the full-time position. On the flip side, the Chiefs have the opportunity to clinch a playoff berth with a win, adding substantial stakes to the game.
Given that Crosby has experienced limited success against the Chiefs, having secured only one victory in his career, it’s certain that he will approach the game with heightened motivation and determination. The upcoming matchup promises to be a fiercely competitive contest with real implications for both teams.
