The Las Vegas Raiders will be without defensive end Maxx Crosby for their Monday Night Football game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Crosby, a Pro Bowler each of the past three years, has started all 12 games in which he's played this season, recording 7.5 sacks, 17 tackles for loss and 20 quarterback hits. He's one of the NFL's best edge defenders and perhaps the Raiders' best overall player.
But Falcons head coach Raheem Morris believes his team's offensive line isn't the reason why. Morris noted Atlanta has faced a pair of potent pass rushes over the past two weeks in the Los Angeles Chargers and Minnesota Vikings, and the Falcons have allowed the fewest pressures in the NFL during that span.
"It's been absolutely outstanding in the last two weeks," Morris said Wednesday. "We played people that got significant rushers on their football team. ... You're always going to get hit as a quarterback in football, right? But I do think our O-line has stepped up to a big challenge."
