Episode Details

Kirk Cousins’ career hinges on this season—his 38th birthday arrives before Week 1, and with only eight starts last year, he’s facing the biggest pressure of his career.

Cousins, a free agent who landed in Vegas with a shot at the starting job, might be playing his final chance at QB1—if he fails, retirement looms. But if he delivers, he could earn another shot next year. The team’s leaning toward Cousins to start the opener, giving Mendoza reps but not rushing him. This is Cousins’ make-or-break moment.
