Las Vegas Raiders teammates Kirk Cousins and Maxx Crosby had a hilarious debate on Oct. 23.
The Raiders shared a video on Instagram asking the two players to name the biggest animal they thought they could beat in a fight.
Thanks for the submission!
“I will take down a panda if he’s not gonna fight back,” Cousins said.

“Bro, a panda is a bear,” he said.
“Yeah. But if he’s just gonna sit there and take it,” Cousins replied.
“So you’re just gonna beat up an innocent animal in the forest?” Crosby asked.
Cousins said he would feel bad because pandas are cool and endangered.
“Huge panda guy,” Crosby said before claiming he could beat an ostrich in a fight.
Cousins then said he could beat a sloth but would lose to a kangaroo.
Maxx Crosby disagreed, saying he could beat a kangaroo.
Cousins also thought he and a koala would be evenly matched in a fight.
Crosby and Cousins had a fight during the Raiders’ training camp in August. It happened during a padded practice session.
Quarterbacks usually wear special noncontact jerseys to protect them from hits. However, Crosby hit Cousins twice during practice, hitting his throwing arm.
Cousins got upset and confronted Maxx Crosby. He grabbed Crosby’s jersey and the two exchanged angry words.
Quickly, their teammates and coaches stepped in to separate them.
Kirk Cousins joined the Raiders on April 2. Cousins joined the team as a veteran bridge quarterback to lead the offense under head coach Klint Kubiak.
Meanwhile, Maxx Crosby has played for the Raiders since April 27, 2019, when he was selected by the franchise in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
