Kirk Cousins Hits 301 Career TD Passes as Raiders Rout Dolphins in Opener

Cousins completed 21 of 30 passes for 160 yards and became the 15th NFL quarterback with 300-plus touchdown passes.

  • On Sunday, the Las Vegas Raiders defeated the Miami Dolphins 27-13 at Allegiant Stadium in their Week 1 matchup, with veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins leading the offense in his Raiders debut.
  • The Dolphins fielded the NFL's youngest roster with 14 rookies, while Cousins signed a one-year deal with the Raiders after his release from Atlanta following two seasons.
  • Connecting twice with running back Ashton Jeanty and once with wide receiver Jack Bech, Cousins threw for 160 yards and three touchdowns to power the Raiders' offensive efficiency.
  • Miami quarterback Malik Willis completed 15 of 27 passes for 220 yards with one rushing touchdown, though a fourth-quarter interception and missed field goals halted the Dolphins' comeback efforts.
  • Both teams return to the field next Sunday, as the Raiders travel to SoFi Stadium to face the Los Angeles Chargers and the Dolphins visit the San Francisco 49ers.
