Maxx Crosby was dominant during the Las Vegas Raiders' 30-6 win over the New York Giants in Week 9, recording a season-high 3.0 sacks. His outstanding performance was enough to boost his overall rating from a 96 to a 97 in the latest Madden 24 player ratings update on Thursday.

Crosby is currently the highest-rated left end in the game.

After starting the year with a 94 overall rating, the two-time Pro Bowler has become one of the league's premier pass-rushers. He's totaled 9.5 sacks through nine games, tied for the second-most takedowns in the NFL.

Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James saw his overall rating improve by one point to a 94, as the Chargers' secondary stifled Zach Wilson and the New York Jets' passing attack.
