Maxx Crosby’s energy and work ethic has been commended countless times by his teammates and coaches. He is a man who is going to keep it real at all times.
It’s a demeanor that any team would want on its squad and it extends further than the playing field.
The Raiders celebrated Sunday’s 30-6 win over the New York Giants in style, with players lighting up victory cigars in the locker room following their first game after firing head coach Josh McDaniels.
Crosby was front and center for the action.
Crosby would soon conduct a live interview while shirtless, but he was still smoking in the process.
However, many fans thought he was not smoking a cigar.

Fans were sure he was smoking a blunt:
The Raiders fired McDaniels last week to end a disappointing one-plus-season stint that featured a 9-16 record. General manager Dave Ziegler was also dismissed. Starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was also benched likely for the rest of the season.
Led by interim head coach Antonio Pierce, the Raiders scored a season-high 30 points in Week 9. Las Vegas’ 24-point victory over New York marked the largest win immediately after a midseason coaching change since 2015, per ESPN Stats & Info.
The 4-5 Raiders will look to keep the good times going when they face the New York Jets on Sunday Night Football in Week 10.
