Kirk Cousins remains the Raiders’ listed starter for Sunday’s home game against Buffalo after Fernando Mendoza took one late drive in the 45-17 Week 5 loss at New England. Cousins has completed 65.1 percent of his passes for 1,269 yards, 12 touchdowns and four interceptions through five games, good for a 100.7 passer rating.
Klint Kubiak kept Cousins atop the unofficial depth chart released this week, with Mendoza — the No. 1 overall pick — listed second and Aidan O’Connell third. Mendoza finished 6 of 8 for 48 yards on his only series late in the Patriots game.
In Wednesday’s availability Cousins talked about locker-room accountability after the Patriots loss and the challenge of facing Josh Allen at Allegiant Stadium. Las Vegas opened 3-0 before consecutive defeats to Kansas City and New England.
The Raiders (3-2) host the Bills (4-1) on Sunday, October 18, at 4:25 p.m. EDT (1:25 p.m. PT) on CBS.
