From the article

Kirk Cousins leads the NFL in touchdown passes with 14, and started his career with the Las Vegas Raiders at 3-0, but the veteran signal caller is playing with fire amid a three-game losing streak. If the Raiders lose to the spiraling Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, the fans begging to see number one pick Fernando Mendoza take the reins could finally get their wish.

Cousins' 14 TDs not enough to save job if Raiders lose; Mendoza likely takes over.

Kirk Cousins leads the NFL with 14 touchdown passes and started 3-0 with the Raiders, but faces a three-game losing streak and potential benching. Despite playing well enough to keep the seat warm for Fernando Mendoza, Cousins is 38 years old and can't move in the pocket; if the Raiders lose to the Rams to fall below .500, the organization will likely prioritize giving Mendoza experience and building for 2027 rather than continuing with Cousins, even though he's not the team's biggest problem.
