Each team features star pass-rusher
Two of the very best pass-rushers in the NFL will be on display Monday night when the Las Vegas Raiders visit the Detroit Lions to end Week 8.
The Raiders are led by menacing defensive end Maxx Crosby, while the Lions feature second-year pass-rusher Aidan Hutchinson. Both players are key factors in this game.
Let’s look at how these two stars compare:

Drafted:
First round (No. 2 overall), 2022 out of Michigan.
Career sacks:
14 sacks in 24 games.
2023 stats:
22 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 4 tackles for loss, 8 quarterback hits, 1 interception (he has 4 in his career. Crosby has none).
These are two special players and they will be focal points of both offensive coordinators not only Monday night, but probably for the rest of their careers.
This is going to be fun to watch.
