> Sunday night is also Crosby’s one cheat meal of the week. It’s a long meal, and he orders enough food for all four viewings. “I usually have family in town and I will order a crazy meal from whatever restaurant we are feeling,” Crosby said. “I eat as much as I want because I know the rest of the week, I am 100 percent meal-prepped to the minute. I will watch the game over and over again because I can’t sleep the night after a game anyway.” Crosby has been known to order the entire Buffalo Wild Wings menu. “I can do Burger King, if McDonald’s sound good, I will do McDonald’s. … I am original, I am not bougie like a lot of guys, I stick to my roots,” Crosby said.
> It’s an example that the team captain sets. Besides leading all defensive linemen in tackles (31) and being fourth in quarterback hits (nine), Crosby plays more snaps than any other lineman in the league. He’s been on the field for 93.4 percent of the Raiders’ defensive snaps — the next highest is the Bengals’ Sam Hubbard at 88.3 percent.
