The Raiders’ Collapse Sparks Buzz About the Indianapolis Colts as Maxx Crosby Clashes With Teammate After Loss — Locker Room Insider Claims “He Keeps Praising Daniel Jones… Maybe He Really Wants to Be a Colt” – video shows the heated sideline fight

Cleveland, Ohio — November 24, 2025

The Las Vegas Raiders didn’t just lose 24–10 to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday — they unraveled completely. And once again, the center of the controversy was star edge rusher Maxx Crosby, whose emotional sideline eruption and tense locker-room confrontation have reignited growing speculation that began weeks ago about his potential interest in the Indianapolis Colts.

The tension traces back to Week 5, when the Raiders were dismantled 40–6 by the Colts — a game Crosby later described as “eye-opening.”

Against Cleveland, Crosby delivered another dominant performance — 5 tackles, 2 sacks, 3 tackles for loss and a forced fumble. But even his brilliance couldn’t overshadow the boiling point that arrived midway through the fourth quarter, when cameras caught him slamming his helmet while linebacker Elandon Roberts confronted him chest-to-chest, shouting from inches away. Teammates scrambled to separate the two.

What initially appeared to be ordinary frustration quickly revealed deeper cracks.

Locker Room Source: The Real Breaking Point Was the Week 5 Loss to the Colts

A Raiders player, speaking anonymously to ESPN, said tensions have been building for weeks — and it all began with that blowout loss in Indianapolis.

“Ever since we lost to the Colts in Week 5, things haven’t been the same,” the player said.
“He keeps talking about Daniel Jones — how calm he was, how he controlled the game, how accurate he played. He keeps saying the Colts are the real standard, that their culture is what football should be. He brings it up so much that guys are getting tired of it. Some even think… maybe he actually wants to go there.”

Once reporters picked up the comment, the story spread instantly.
Colts Nation reacted with amusement.
Raiders fans reacted with frustration.
And neutral observers noted what is becoming harder to ignore: Crosby’s language, demeanor and visible frustration strongly suggest a disconnect with Las Vegas.

Week 5 Wasn’t Just a Loss — It Was a Turning Point

After that game, Crosby publicly praised head coach Shane Steichen and said Daniel Jones “played like a true franchise quarterback who has the full respect of his locker room.”

The quote went viral.
#CrosbyToColts trended for days.
And Sunday’s sideline blowup only poured gasoline on the fire.

Colts Nation Is Already Dreaming

In Indianapolis, fans immediately circulated Crosby highlights from the Browns game, imagining him lining up alongside DeForest Buckner and Laiatu Latu in a terrifying AFC pass-rush trio.

One AFC executive told ESPN:

“If Maxx Crosby ever hinted he wanted out, the Colts would be one of the first teams to call. His mentality fits what they’re building.”

The Raiders have declined to comment on the altercation, and Crosby avoided reporters after the game.
But with everything unfolding, the question is now unavoidable:

Is the fracture in Las Vegas pushing Maxx Crosby closer to Indianapolis?

One thing is certain:

Indianapolis is watching. Colts Nation is hopeful.
And Maxx Crosby once again stands at the center of the NFL storm.
