NEW ORLEANS — Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins has thrown nine touchdown passes in three games this season, the most recent a four‑yard scoring strike to tight end Brock Bowers on Sunday. After the win, Cousins reflected on the performance from the Caesars Superdome tunnel.
The Raiders forced four straight turnovers in the fourth quarter, preserving their unbeaten record with a 35‑27 comeback victory over the New Orleans Saints. Those takeaways erased a 27‑16 deficit after the third quarter and ignited a 19‑0 run that Cousins capped with the touchdown to Bowers, who was making his season debut after missing the first two contests.
Cousins finished 22 of 33 for 248 yards and three touchdowns. Bowers hauled in ten receptions for 116 yards and the score. Tight end Michael Mayer added a three‑yard touchdown, while wide receiver Cody White caught a four‑yard score that proved to be the go‑ahead touchdown with 9:21 remaining. Running back Mike Washington Jr. contributed a 36‑yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Cornerback
