Sunday in Los Angeles Maxx Crosby added two sacks to double his season total, giving him four sacks in four games. Despite that landing him in the top six in the NFL in sacks, it’s actually low considering his overall impact on the game.
For example, his pressure numbers. Crosby has 27 pressures. And there is no one in the league who has more.

The most impressive thing about it is Crosby is a one-man wrecking crew. He has little in the way of help, whether it be from the interior defensive line getting pressure up the middle, the other end spot closing the pocket, or the secondary giving him more time to work.
No, Crosby is getting most of his pressures the old fashioned way — by beating the man in front of him and chasing down the quarterback.
Oh, and his 19 combined run stops is once again far and away better than any other pass rusher in the league.
