The veteran has thrown three touchdown passes in both of the team's first two games, both victories.
According to the Raiders' Public relations staff, Cousins became the ninth quarterback since 1950 to throw three touchdown passes in the first two games with his new team. He has thrown, at least, three touchdown passes in 44 games since becoming a full-time starter in 2015. It's the fourth most total in that time span.
Cousins is the first Raiders' quarterback since Pro Football Hall of Famer Ken Stabler to throw, at least, three touchdown passes in the first two games of a season. Stabler did it in 1976, the season the Raiders went onto win their first Super Bowl.
He is tied for the NFL lead after two games. Keep it up, Kirk
