Kirk Cousins Makes Impactful Debut with Raiders

Kirk Cousins, now playing for his fourth NFL team, has made a notable impact in Las Vegas.

He has thrown 11 touchdown passes in his first four games, tying him with Brock Purdy of the 49ers for the league lead. If Cousins manages to throw three more touchdowns in the upcoming game against the Patriots, he would join an exclusive group of quarterbacks who have thrown 14 or more touchdowns in their first five games with a franchise.

Only Patrick Mahomes and Kurt Warner have achieved this milestone, both of whom won the MVP award in the same year. If Cousins continues his performance, he could enter the MVP conversation, potentially becoming the oldest quarterback to win the award, following Matthew Stafford's win last year. A victory against New England would further bolster his chances.
