You guys ready for Maxx Crosby's final stat line?
*takes deep breath*
Five tackles, four (!) sacks, three tackles for loss, four quarterback hits, and a forced fumble.
That's pretty good.
First order of business for the Las Vegas Raiders is to donate 500k to help clear the meal debt for the youth of the entire state of Nevada.
Outstanding.

The
#Raiders
ran the ball 41 times against the Broncos and averaged a coooool five yards per carry.
We say it every, single week, but my goodness, s/o the big fellas up front.
You think you're exhausted from last night?
Tre'von Moehrig, Roderic Teamer and Casey Hayward played an unreal 93 - yes, 93 - defensive snaps against the Chargers.
Brandon Parker went to bed Saturday night thinking he would be inactive Sunday.
Instead, he played 49 snaps at right tackle in a huge win over the Browns, where the Raiders ran for over 200 yards.
S/O to Brandon.
Josh Jacobs was asked about lowering his shoulder on Charvarius Ward on his 51-yard run.
“I don’t want to be labeled as a soft back, I guess. I’m still young, so for right now, my body can take those kind of hits.”
SPOILER: Josh Jacobs isn't soft.
It’s almost 11 o’clock at night.
The Raiders lost 35-3 earlier today.
They went 4-12 this year.
And there are still fans waiting at the facility to welcome us back home.
That’s love.

No Victory Monday today, but the
#Raiders
went toe to toe with the champs last night, and made it quite evident they can play with anyone in this league.
I still like where the ship is headed.
I’m so stoked for all three of the
#Raiders
on the All-Pro team, but man, I’m glad our guy Daniel Carlson got some (well deserved) love.
This dude has conditioned us to think what he does is normal, but it’s not. The stats are insane and I’m thrilled he’s getting his moment.
Power, speed, precision. Everything you want to see out of a Pro Bowl tackle.
Also, a signed construction helmet would be such a dope addition to any trophy room.
The stuff most people don’t see:
On his way out of the facility tonight,
@CrosbyMaxx
went over to sign for a group of kids that were waiting outside 1220, and I don’t know who had more fun, Maxx or the youngsters.
He’s a good one, that Maxx.
Gruden's message to the team headed into the bye:
"Be smart. You represent yourselves. You represent the
#Raiders
and you represent me. Be smart. Have some fun, but be smart. Find somebody you love and be with them."
Still super impressed that through three games, Denzel Perryman has led the Raiders in tackles - or been tied for the lead - every game.
The man signed September 1.
Pretty wild:
The
#Raiders
offensive line (Miller, Devey, Hudson, Good & Brown) played all 58 snaps last night and surrendered exactly zero sacks AND zero quarterback hits.
Ayyyy a major s/o to Darren Waller and Alec Ingold for spending their Tuesday (in the offseason, no less) handing out lunches here at Jack Dailey Elementary School here in Vegas.

S/O to Divine Deablo.
Before yesterday, he'd only played 26 defensive snaps all season, but against the WFT, he played 38, and finished with 10 tackles - and added another on special teams.
Rich Bisaccia went out and addressed the media today on the backend of a situation that was inconceivable 48 hours ago.
I think - once again - he handled himself tremendously. And look, he is 100% right, there is no blueprint for this one.
It became clear in a hurry that AB knows his
#Raiders
history. After naming off a bunch of legends, I asked him who was his favorite player to wear the Silver and Black.
His answer? Charles Woodson.
S/O to K.J. Wright.
Dude played every defensive snap yesterday (the most he's played as as Raider) and was a beast too - finishing Week 15 with eight total tackles.
