Cousins extends winning streak to 7 games

Despite being viewed as a bridge quarterback until Fernando Mendoza is ready, Cousins has silenced critics with his performance. "We're just worried about playing the next game, and [Cousins] is playing this next game," Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said. Cousins could become the first quarterback since the 1970 merger to win four consecutive games for two teams in the same streak. likesport.biz

The veteran quarterback has thrown nine touchdown passes and three interceptions with a 107.2 passer rating that ranks eighth in the league. "That's the great part about this league is you've got to go out every single week and prove it to yourself, prove it to everyone else," Cousins said.
