On Sunday, the Las Vegas Raiders hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers and lost 32-13. The Raiders have fallen to 2-4, and defensive lineman Maxx Crosby has seemingly had enough.
At one point, the cameras panned to Crosby walking to the sideline, and he then pushed Las Vegas run game coordinator and linebacker coach Mike Caldwell.

Of course, getting physical with your own coach is a huge deal and something you rarely see from players.
He’s now catching some heat from social media users for taking things too far.
“We all get mad. We all definitely don’t shove our coaches. He was wrong to do that,” said one comment.
“Not cool Maxx. Very unprofessional and classless,” said another.
“Lots of people want Crosby on their team after seeing him push a coach? Hell nah. Lack of respect,” continued third.
By the end of the game, Crpsby had little impact, accumulating just three tackles and half a sack.
Of course, Crosby is a player known for his passion and emotion for the game, but a player should never be putting their hands on a coach.
Maxx Crosby Tried To Clear Things Up
Crosby must have seen all the drama that the clip had stirred up because he went to X to try and clear things up.
“Mike Caldwell Is My Guy. One Of The Best People In The Business. Thats A Love Push, Stop Reaching. #RN4L,” he wrote

Crosby has been with the Raiders for six years, and despite the many lows compared to the highs, he has remained loyal to the franchise.
It’s unlikely the Raiders need to hand out any punishments for what happened.
