Overview
- On his podcast The Rush, Crosby called Ward a fierce competitor and said the rookie is going to have a great career.
- Crosby likened Ward to Patrick Mahomes for holding the ball until the last possible second to try to make plays.
- In the Raiders’ 20-10 victory over the Titans, Ward was sacked six times with Crosby recording two and he committed three turnovers.
- After one sack, Crosby mimicked Ward’s signature celebration, a taunt he later framed as competitive trolling alongside genuine respect.
- Before the game, Ward had graded his rookie season as an F, a harsh self-assessment that matched his rough Week 6 outing.
