Raiders' Klint Kubiak Confirms Kirk Cousins Will Start Against Jets

Following the Las Vegas Raiders' 35-21 defeat to the Los Angeles Rams, head coach Klint Kubiak confirmed that Kirk Cousins will continue as the starting quarterback for the team's upcoming game against the New York Jets on November 1.

Kubiak initially considered benching Cousins in favor of rookie Fernando Mendoza but ultimately decided against the change. He emphasized that Cousins is performing at a high level, having completed 26 of 44 passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns in the recent game, despite the team's four-game losing streak.

Kubiak stated that the decision to start Cousins is focused on winning the next game, while also indicating that Mendoza will play at some point in the future. The Raiders are still in contention for a playoff spot, and Kubiak expressed the importance of supporting Cousins as they prepare for the Jets.
