Kirk Cousins leads Raiders past Chargers as Falcons struggle

Kirk Cousins led the Las Vegas Raiders to a 26-14 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on September 20, improving the Raiders to 2-0. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcons fell to 0-2 after a 34-3 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The Falcons, who parted ways with Cousins in the offseason, are still financially tied to him, as they cover most of his salary. In the Falcons' recent game, Cooper Rush was benched after two interceptions, and rookie Jack Strand also struggled, contributing to the team's woes. Cousins, who has now won six consecutive starts dating back to his time in Atlanta, has thrown for six touchdowns in two games with the Raiders.
