The two have locked horns against one another on a number of occasions, and oftentimes, it has come really close to blows. However, it looks like Maxx Crosby is willing to take the feud up a notch before the start of the upcoming season.

According to Marca, he said, “At the end of the day, if we want to win, we got to take him down. So we’re not shy about that. He knows every time I play him, and every time I see him, I’m trying to ruin his day. So that goes for everybody. So yeah, you know, people can take that whatever they want, whatever, but he knows I’m coming for him.
“It’s the same. I’m on that energy every time and I know my teammates are as well. It’s not malicious or whatever… But we play with ill intent sign and we play violent and fast and we plan on doing that for the years to come,” he continued.
