The Rams reprised the game plan that served the New England Patriots so well two weeks ago, sending regular blitzes while daring Raiders receivers to beat man coverage. The result left Cousins unable to establish any sort of rhythm, with the offense barely showing a pulse early. The veteran finished with 295 yards and two touchdowns, but a late push that didn't produce a serious threat inflated his stat line. Raiders coach Klint Kubiak acknowledged after the game that the team is 'thinking about everything.'

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Cousins' struggles vs. Rams blitzes suggest his starting job is in jeopardy.

Despite leading the NFL in passing touchdowns and exceeding expectations entering the season, Cousins' 295-yard, two-touchdown performance in a 35-21 loss to the Rams—where he couldn't establish rhythm against regular blitzes and man coverage—signals his reign as a starter is on borrowed time; Raiders coach Klint Kubiak acknowledged the team is 'thinking about everything' ahead of a brutal November stretch, with a potential benching looming.
