Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby had been in the news as of late because he was one of the most-desired trade targets in the NFL leading up to the league’s trade deadline on Tuesday.
But now, Crosby is in the news for another reason: his hilarious and epic response to Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little’s record-breaking field goal on Sunday.
The Jaguars pulled off a Week 9 win in Las Vegas against the Raiders, with a 30-29 final score in overtime. The team couldn’t have done it without Little’s record-breaking 68-yard field goal at the end of the first half of the contest.
Little actually made a 70-yard field goal during the preseason, but it didn’t count with the game being an exhibition. He rose to the challenge though and bested Justin Tucker’s record for the longest kick in NFL history.
Now, the NFL has shared official mic’d-up footage from the moment. Even Crosby had to give props to Little.
In the clip, Crosby’s eyes bug out as his head goes from shoulder-to-shoulder watching the ball successfully go in. He also let out some colorful language after Little made the kick.

At least Crobsy had something to smile about during the game. Right now, there’s not too much going right with the Raiders to make him happy. The team is in last place in the AFC West with only two wins in eight weeks and a 2-6 record.
Still, Crosby doesn’t want out. As reported on Oct. 21, the Raiders and Crosby met ahead of the NFL trade deadline, and the team conveyed to him that he they weren’t shopping him around and would not trade him. According to the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and NFL Network’s Jane Slater, “Crosby has no desire to be traded, either.”
