The NFL’s Divisional Round is set for an explosive finale as two of the league’s most dynamic quarterbacks prepare to face off.
MVP frontrunners Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson will battle it out, with one securing their path to the AFC Championship.
While fans and analysts debate who’ll emerge victorious, Las Vegas Raiders’ All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby has made his pick clear – he’s backing Josh Allen to steal the show.
During his appearance on NFL Network, Crosby expressed unwavering confidence in the Buffalo Bills quarterback.
Drawing from his experience facing both signal-callers, Crosby sees something special in Allen’s approach this season.
“I’m going Josh Allen, this dude is incredible. He’s had an incredible season, like you talked about. The MVP race has been back and forth, back and forth. But this dude, I just feel like he has a different look in his eye this year. He’s motivated,” Crosby shared enthusiastically.
He didn’t stop there, further predicting, “I think Josh Allen is going to make a statement.”

Crosby’s assessment goes beyond just gut feeling.
While Allen’s playoff journey has seen its ups and downs, his impressive touchdown-to-interception ratio tells the story of a quarterback who rises in big moments.
With a recharged mindset and solid supporting cast, Crosby believes Allen is primed to deliver a memorable performance in this crucial matchup.
Crosby’s perspective is particularly compelling because of his firsthand experience.
As a four-time Pro Bowler who’s faced both quarterbacks on the field, his insight carries extra weight.
It’s one thing to hear from typical NFL analysts, but Crosby’s perspective offers a unique glimpse into what makes Allen such a formidable opponent.
The Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills are set to clash on Sunday, January 19, at Highmark Stadium.
