It's not necessarily because Cousins lost the job, but that he was always just keeping it warm for Mendoza...At that point, it might be time to start thinking about 2027 and beyond because the team isn't winning despite the 38-year-old quarterback playing well.

Cousins' job security threatened if Raiders lose; Mendoza likely takes over.

Despite strong individual performance, Cousins is keeping the seat warm for number one pick Fernando Mendoza. If the Raiders lose to the Rams and fall below .500, the organization will likely prioritize giving Mendoza experience and building for the future, ending Cousins' tenure as starter—not because of his play, but because the team isn't winning and needs to develop the rookie.
