Kirk Cousins is still a bridge quarterback for the Raiders, holding down the starting job until No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza is ready. With the Raiders off to a 3-0 start, though, no one is calling for Mendoza. 'We're just worried about playing the next game, and [Cousins is] playing this next game,' Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said. 'Fernando's ready to go when called upon.'
