Yahoo Sports NFL on Kirk Cousins

Cousins efficient in short-pass game but threw two INTs when forced downfield in Week 1.

In his first game with the Raiders, Cousins connected on his first nine passes but was mostly hitting short passes and didn't throw downfield much. When he did, it was ineffective; he threw two interceptions. The source notes that if the Raiders are forced from their game plan, it could be trouble with Cousins, suggesting his efficiency is scheme-dependent and may not hold up against defensive adjustments.
