It’s been a rough couple of weeks for Joey Bosa.

Between how the star pass-rusher reacted during the Los Angeles Chargers’ loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card, his subsequent reaction to the referees and how he handled dealing with Philadelphia Eagles fans recently heckling him, Bosa may want to stay out of the public light for the foreseeable future.

Bosa’s recent behavior hasn’t gone unnoticed. In fact, a fellow pass-rusher in the AFC West has taken issue with how the All-Pro defensive end has conducted himself. During a recent appearance on Bussin’ With The Boys, a podcast presented by Barstool Sports, Maxx Crosby of the Las Vegas Raiders commented on the recent events that have clouded over Bosa and his reputation around the league

“A couple games ago, when fu–ing dude had a meltdown, and blaming the refs, I see dudes blaming the refs, ‘Oh, fu–ing o-lineman hold all the time refs don’t call it,’ like I’ll never be that guy,” Crosby said of Joey Bosa, talking with podcast co-hosts and NFL players, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan.

“S–t like that is so weak to me,” Crosby later added. “Like, you’re going to get held. Like, I know. I get held all the time, bro..But I’m not going to go and double down and look like a little fu–ing crybaby, you know what I mean. That’s not me.”
