The Las Vegas Raiders are now 1-1 on the year, with a win over the Baltimore Ravens after a tough loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1. They were not supposed to win this game, and I think everyone feels that way besides them. And the way they started the game on offense sure didn’t instill any confidence, either.
But, you know the saying, it’s not about how you start, but it’s about how you finish. And, the Raiders defense, and offense, yes you read that right, finished the game. The defense contained Lamar Jackson very well, about as well as one can. Then, the offense came out and ran the best drive we have seen so far this season, which resulted in a Davante Adams touchdown.
Then the defense locked up again, ultimately winning the game. The Raiders beat a team that everyone picked to beat them, even myself, I can’t lie.
So of course, this is a reason to celebrate, especially on the road. The Raiders were so hyped up after the game, that Maxx Crosby celebrated the way only he knows how to do, in a celebration that was very on-brand for him.
Crosby was seen by The Athletic’s Tashan Reed, running shirtless to hug owner Mark Davis, while also yelling some choice words.
