Raiders Star Crosby Avoids Serious Injury in Blowout Loss to Chiefs
20 Oct
Summary
- Maxx Crosby exits game with possible knee injury, but expected to be OK
- Raiders offense records just 95 total yards, 3 first downs, 0/7 on 3rd downs
- Geno Smith calls loss "embarrassing", says team needs to "lock in" with teammates
In a game that took place just last week, on October 16th, 2025, the Las Vegas Raiders were thoroughly dominated by the Kansas City Chiefs, suffering a 31-0 shutout defeat. The Raiders' star pass rusher, Maxx Crosby, exited the game in the second quarter with a possible knee injury, but it appears he has avoided a serious issue. According to reports, Crosby's injury was "more of a precaution than anything," and he is expected to be okay moving forward.
Despite Crosby's early exit, the bigger story was the Raiders' offensive ineptitude. The team managed just 95 total yards of offense, picked up only 3 first downs, and went 0-for-7 on third-down conversions. In fact, the 30 plays run by the Raiders were the fewest by any team in a game since 1999. Raiders quarterback Geno Smith was visibly frustrated, calling the loss "embarrassing" and saying the team needs to "lock in" with their teammates.
With the lopsided defeat, the Raiders have a lot of soul-searching to do. They will need to regroup quickly and find a way to bounce back from this dismal performance if they hope to turn their season around.
