Cousins' 7-game win streak Raiders' winning formula

With the Raiders off to a 3-0 start, Cousins has solidified his role as the team's quarterback until Fernando Mendoza is ready to take over. Cousins could become the first quarterback since the 1970 merger to win four consecutive games for two teams in the same streak. tbzikra.com

Despite serving as a placeholder, Cousins has thrown nine touchdown passes and three interceptions with a 107.2 passer rating that ranks eighth in the league. "We're just worried about playing the next game, and [Cousins is] playing this next game," Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said.
