A comeback powered by Kirk Cousins, a defense forcing turnovers and Brock Bowers’ return sets up a Week 4 measuring game against the 3-0 Chiefs.

Overview

  • The Raiders completed a 35-27 road comeback to beat the New Orleans Saints and improved to 3-0, giving Klint Kubiak his first three wins as an NFL head coach.
  • Quarterback Kirk Cousins has opened the season with three touchdown passes in each of his first three games for Las Vegas and leads the team’s early offensive surge.
