Decision Holds Steady
The Raiders will keep Kirk Cousins under center for the game against the Jets after their fourth consecutive defeat. Klint Kubiak made the announcement on Monday following the 35-21 setback to the Rams. The coach had previously signaled openness to other options to address ongoing issues but chose continuity for the upcoming contest.
Strong Production Through Seven Games
Cousins has accumulated 1,877 passing yards along with a league-leading 16 touchdowns and five interceptions over seven contests. He added seven of those scores across the past four outings after posting nine in the first three. These figures underscore his continued role in the offense.
Rookie Entry Planned Without Schedule
Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall selection, is expected to see the field at some point. Kubiak stated a plan exists for the rookie but offered no specific timeline. He noted the current starter is performing effectively and the team remains competitive in the standings.
