Kirk Cousins shows strong start with Raiders, predicted for Comeback Player of Year

Kirk Cousins has had a strong start to the season with the Las Vegas Raiders, posting 413 total yards and six touchdowns through two games. This performance places him among only three quarterbacks aged 38 and older to achieve three touchdown passes in each of their team's first two games. Fellow quarterback Russell Wilson expressed confidence that Cousins can secure the Comeback Player of the Year award if he maintains his high level of play. The Raiders plan to keep their No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza on the bench as long as Cousins continues to excel.
