        Kirk Cousins Throws for a Season-High 365 Yards

        Raiders QB Kirk Cousins completed 31 of 52 passes for 365 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs. He wasn't sacked once, and his longest completion went for 28 yards. Cousins averaged 7.0 yards per attempt and spread the ball to nine different receivers. TEs Brock Bowers (11 targets) and Michael Mayer (10) were his top options.

        Raiders HC Klint Kubiak confirmed that QB Kirk Cousins will start the opener vs. the Dolphins. Vegas has maintained since drafting QB Fernando Mendoza No. 1 overall that they wanted the rookie to open the season on the bench.

        While the resounding feeling is that Kirk Cousins will open the season as the starting quarterback for the Raiders, the team still hasn't officially named a starter. The team’s head coach Kilint Kubiak avoided announcing their starting quarterback decision the morning following its final preseason game, saying “I still don’t think we need to name anybody.”

        Kirk Cousins took all of the first-team reps today in practice while Fernando Mendoza took all of the second-team reps per Sam Warren of The Athletic. While the Raiders haven’t officially announced their starting quarterback with just one preseason game left before opening weekend, Cousins has been the expected starter.

        Fernando Mendoza is expected to make the first preseason start of his career, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. After essentially playing a half last week, entering for Kirk Cousins after the opening touchdown drive and staying in through the end of the third quarter, the Raiders’ first overall pick is expected to get a similar workload this time as the starter.
