New Raiders Rumors on Kirk Cousins 'Blame' and Fernando Mendoza QB1 Status Ahead of Trade Deadline

With their losing streak at four games, the Las Vegas Raiders have every intention of sticking with Kirk Cousins as the starting quarterback.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday the Raiders "don't believe he is to blame for their recent struggles after a 3-0 start."

Las Vegas' schedule is a contributing factor as well, per Schefter. The team plays the New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks in succession. All three all rank in the top 10 in yards allowed so far.
