At first, Maxx Crosby and Kirk Cousins were at each other\u2019s throats<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, they\u2019ve rekindled their friendship, and a big reason for it has been Cousins\u2019 recent play as the Raiders are coming off a 38-33 victory against the Jets<\/a> on Sunday and are viewed as playoff contenders \u2014 while controlling their own destiny with a 4-4 record.<\/p>\n

Crosby appeared on his podcast, \u201cThe Rush,\u201d on Tuesday and said Cousins has played a big part in their early success.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting the win was amazing. Shoutout to the whole squad,\u201d Crosby said. \u201cKirk is doing his thing. Balling the f\u2013k out. Again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s victory was headlined by Cousins\u2019 best performance of the season, as the 15-year veteran scored four touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Three of Cousins\u2019 touchdowns were through the air, as he connected twice with tight end Brock Bowers<\/a> and once with Jalen Nailor, which put them ahead 35-30 in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of guys. I mean, Ashton [Jeanty] at the end. Mike Washington had a great game. Nailor caught a tuddy, Brock obviously. Mike [Mayer],\u201d Crosby said. \u201cA lot of guys. \u2026 first half was not our best ball at all on defense. Second half we played a lot better.\u201d<\/p>\n

His other touchdown was a 1-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter<\/a>, which was followed by his \u201cwellness celebration,\u201d leaving the Raiders fans who made the trip to the other side of the country erupting in cheers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love playing in those big environments. Having those big-city vibes,\u201d Crosby said. \u201c\u2026 I don\u2019t know what it is, there is a lot of Raiders fans in New York. I know that fans travel, but there is a lot of fans out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey showed up, they showed out. That s\u2014t was dope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before Sunday\u2019s game, there was speculation earlier in the week the Raiders could bench Cousins in favor of No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza<\/a> because the team was riding a four-game losing streak.<\/p>\n

Cousins silenced the naysayers and even got some praise from the team\u2019s minority owner, Tom Brady<\/a>, who commented on a social media post of Cousins doing his \u201cwellness check\u201d dance and wrote, \u201cHit em with the wellness!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

While he\u2019s faced public pressure this season, Cousins is second in the NFL, behind Joe Burrow, for passing touchdowns (19).<\/p>\n
