Cousins was 8-of-11 passing for 51 yards, moved the Raiders into scoring position twice and avoided the kind of damaging play that can swing a game — and a quarterback competition.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Cousins' steady, mistake-free performance likely settles QB competition in his favor.

Cousins opened the preseason finale against the 49ers and directed two field-goal drives before giving way to Mendoza, providing a final side-by-side comparison. Though he was not spectacular—the first-team offense failed to reach the end zone on either possession—Cousins was steady, efficient, and mistake-free: 8-of-11 passing for 51 yards, moved the Raiders into scoring position twice, and avoided damaging plays. The source notes that every logical sign points to Cousins as the starter, as the Raiders signed him specifically to buy Mendoza time and avoid rushing a young quarterback onto the field before he is ready. Cousins provided calm and control, and may have answered lingering questions about the pecking order by confirming he is better prepared for the present than Mendoza.
