Cousins and the Raiders strung together a handful of nice drives in Sunday’s loss to the Bills, but they needed to be just about perfect to slow Buffalo’s offensive attack. With Brock Bowers bottled up for most of the evening, Cousins connected with tight end Michael Mayer seven times for 95 yards, with his lone touchdown passes coming on passes of 11 and 44 yards to Tre Tucker in the fourth quarter. The 44-yard touchdown pass to Tucker came inside of two minutes and with the Bills up by 10, but Cousins and Tucker took advantage of a struggling Bills’ defense to complete the long score and keep things interesting in the waning seconds. Now losers of three straight games, the Raiders will hope to avoid a fourth straight loss next week when they host the suddenly 2-4 Rams. Cousins continues to enjoy a career revival under Klint Kubiak and has now thrown for 1,582-14-5 in his first six games. He’ll be in the QB2 mix for next week’s game against the Rams.
