Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby sends a “war” message to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes ahead of Sunday’s AFC West game. Both teams enter the matchup with unblemished records, and it is the first time Crosby and Mahomes face each other in a regular-season setting with both players’ teams undefeated.
Both outlets note that Crosby and Mahomes respond to questions about the matchup with a competitive tone, reflecting the intensity of their long-running AFC West rivalry. Crosby frames the contest in combative terms, describing the rivalry as “war,” while Mahomes also expresses readiness for the challenge. The focus is on the significance of the game’s timing and stakes, rather than on any single play or injury.
While the reports emphasize the confrontational language used in their exchanges, they agree on the core context: an undefeated Week 4 meeting between the Chiefs and Raiders and a spotlight on Crosby and Mahomes facing each other under those circumstances.
