From the article

The veteran posted three passing touchdowns, but two went to Ashton Jeanty as the stud running back did the rest. Cousins struggled as the game progressed, with pressure affecting his throws (lacking mobility), and totaled a mere 160 yards... he posted zero big-time throws, paired with two turnover-worthy passes

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Cousins' three TDs masked poor underlying stats; sell high after Week 1.

Despite posting three passing touchdowns in Week 1, Cousins' underlying performance was poor: he totaled only 160 yards, posted zero big-time throws, and had two turnover-worthy passes. Two of his three touchdowns went to Ashton Jeanty, inflating his box score. Cousins struggled as the game progressed with pressure affecting his throws due to lacking mobility, and he is saddled with one of the worst wide receiver corps in the NFL. The Raiders' offensive line was one of the worst in the NFL last season, with 2026 improvement only expected to be below average.
