Sunday was arguably his worst performance of the year. Dropping back for 48 passes and airing the ball out down 28-6 to begin the second half led to a prettier box score, but the book is out on the 38-year-old. Per PFF, the Rams blitzed on 27.1 percent of his dropbacks, resulting in a 46.2 completion percentage (6/13), as his lack of arm strength and mobility really show up when under pressure.

Cousins' worst game of year: 46.2% completion under blitz; Mendoza replacement calls growing.

Cousins posted arguably his worst performance of the season in Week 7 against the Rams. Dropping back 48 times and airing it out down 28-6 inflated his box score, but the underlying metrics reveal significant struggles: the Rams blitzed on 27.1% of his dropbacks, resulting in a 46.2% completion percentage (6 of 13) as his lack of arm strength and mobility show up under pressure. More critically, calls for backup Fernando Mendoza to take over are intensifying, signaling a potential shift in the Raiders' quarterback focus for the remainder of the season.
