Kirk Cousins has 11 touchdown passes in four games with the Raiders
Kirk Cousins, now with his fourth NFL team, has made a strong start with the Las Vegas Raiders.
He has thrown 11 touchdown passes in four games, tying San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy for the league lead.
If Cousins throws three more against the New England Patriots on Sunday, he will match a mark reached by only Patrick Mahomes and Kurt Warner in their first five games with a franchise.
Both Mahomes and Warner won the MVP award in the year they set that mark.
Cousins could enter the MVP conversation if he keeps up his scoring pace, though the season still has a long way to go.
The Raiders lost their first game last week, and a win in New England would help Cousins and the team move forward.
Kirk Cousins has thrown 11 touchdown passes in his first four games with the Raiders.
That total ties him with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy for the NFL lead.
Three more touchdown passes against the Patriots on Sunday would give Cousins 14 in his first five games with the Raiders.
Only Patrick Mahomes and Kurt Warner have previously reached that mark in their first five games with a franchise.
Cousins is 38, and a strong run could bring him into the MVP conversation.
