Kirk Cousins Leads Raiders to Field Goals in Preseason Finale

In a surprising move, Kirk Cousins and the Raiders' first-team offense took the field in the team's final preseason game, facing off against the San Francisco 49ers' backups. Cousins played two series, leading the Raiders to two field goals, showcasing a strong performance before the regular season begins.

During his time on the field, Cousins completed 8 of 11 passes for a total of 51 yards. His efforts resulted in field goals from kicker Matt Gay, who successfully converted from 37 and 53 yards. The drives were methodical, with the Raiders executing a 12-play, 46-yard drive followed by a 10-play, 45-yard drive.

With running back Ashton Jeanty sidelined due to an ankle injury, Mike Washington stepped up as the starting running back. Washington made the most of his opportunity, rushing for 49 yards on eight carries. Cousins exited the game with 56 seconds left in the first quarter, but the other starters remained on the field under the direction of Fernando Mendoza.
