Maxx Crosby continues to be the best kind of football sicko.

The Las Vegas Raiders star defensive end Crosby went viral during Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans for his savage troll job on Titans quarterback Cam Ward. During the fourth quarter at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev., Crosby broke free off the edge and got to Ward for a big sack.

After bringing Ward down, Crosby proceeded to clown on him. Crosby quickly turned to the crowd and began doing Ward’s signature celebration.

Light work for Maxx Crosby

Ward has been doing that celebration, which has been dubbed “Zombieland” and features him covering his mouth with one hand and gesturing downwards with his other hand, ever since college. Crosby had apparently seen that tape though and decided to bust it out Sunday as part of his “Welcome to the NFL” moment for the rookie Ward.

The Raiders went on to defeat the Titans by a final score of 20-10 to bring their record to 2-4 on the year. Ward also had an especially rough day at the office, getting sacked six times (including twice by Crosby) and also throwing an interception and losing two fumbles.

One thing that we know about the four-time NFL Pro Bowler Crosby is that he especially has it out for rookie quarterbacks. During a game last season, Crosby had another cruel moment of trash talk for then-rookie QB Bo Nix of the Denver Broncos.
