“He’s a Dawg, Man”: Patrick Mahomes Ends Head-Butt Trash Talks With a Solid Gesture to Maxx Crosby’s Last-Minute Determination

Respect and intensity are constant between two NFL stars.

A couple of days ago before the matchup, Patrick Mahomes stated that he doesn’t like playing against Maxx Crosby.

On the other hand, Mahomes got another opportunity to praise his rival amid the trash-talk controversies.

After the Chiefs won over the Raiders 31-17, Patrick Mahomes talked about Crosby in the team’s post-game conference. According to the injury report, Raiders’ Crosby was listed under questionable due to his knee injury, which he got while playing against the Pittsburgh Steelers back in Week 3.

However, it was later revealed that the defensive end of the Raiders didn’t want to lose any chance to meet Mahomes. And, against all odds, he pushed himself to play against the 28-year-old. Mahomes, therefore, said about Crosby that “He’s a Dawg, man! The fact that he played today speaks to who he is.” He continued that Crosby decided to play the game not just because of the trash talk but also because he wanted to play for his team. While mentioning that “obviously people saw trash talks.” the Chiefs’ QB added, “I’ve kind of respect for him,”

Later, post-game, both the players were seen hugging each other and Mahomes smilingly said, “It was ‘gentleman.’ You woke up the wrong gentleman.”

To which, Crosby laughingly replied, “Hey, you know I love you, dawg. Hell of a game.” In a separate podcast, Crosby praised Mahomes saying, “Every single time we play, he’s the first guy that comes up to me and we always show love. So I’ve got a bunch of respect for him, and it’s an honor to chase him down.”

Both gentlemen feel honored to play against and defeat each other in the matchups. Despite the trash talk and rivalry, they never forget to respect each other and appreciate each other’s game.
