Kirk Cousins throws 3 TDs, joins 300-touchdown club as Raiders beat Dolphins 27-13
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins became the 15th NFL player to throw at least 300 career touchdown passes after completing three TDs in Sunday's season opener against the Miami Dolphins. Cousins, acquired from Atlanta in the offseason, completed 21 of 30 passes for 160 yards in his first start with the Raiders. Running back Ashton Jeanty contributed to the victory, rushing for 102 yards and catching six passes for 45 more.
This was Jeanty's third 100-yard game of his career and marks the third time a running back has achieved this milestone in his first start. Cousins now has 301 career TD passes, placing him 14th all-time and one touchdown ahead of John Elway. The Raiders posted 290 total yards in the first game under coach Klint Kubiak, marking an improvement from last season's league-worst 245.2 yards per game.
