“I’m always barking at everybody, it’s part of my nature,” said Crosby. “Pat wasn’t going for it, you know. He was talking back, and he’s like, ‘Aye, what’s up?’ And so they went down and scored. And I’m standing and watching, and they were all running in the endzone. I get bumped behind my back. I get hit with a shoulder; I turned my shoulder and it was Pat, and he was still running.”
“And I’m like, ‘Oh no, I’m not going for that’, and so I ran straight to him and I headbutted him, like ‘What’s up?’ So we were just jawing and everybody online obviously made a big deal about it.”
The infamous incident happened in a thrilling match between the Chiefs and the Raiders. The Chiefs ended up winning the close game 30-29 and the star QB Patrick Mahomes accounted for 4 touchdowns in the games. Crosby was also making his presence felt during the entire game as he registered 2 sacks and was constantly on the Chiefs backfield but it wasn’t enough for the Raiders to defeat the Chiefs.
