Do the Las Vegas Raiders have a quarterback controversy?
The franchise took that question head on as part of the NFL’s annual video release of team schedules.
In the Raiders’ video, No. 1 draft pick and former IU football star Fernando Mendoza was featured along with veteran Kirk Cousins.
Las Vegas produced a hilarious video of Mendoza and Cousins as initial enemies who become great friends.
While Mendoza won the national title and Heisman Trophy, Cousins has thrown for nearly 45,000 yards and 300 touchdowns in 14 NFL seasons. They are in a competition for the week one starting job.
You don’t get it. It’s the 2026 Schedule Release!
