Kirk Cousins and Drake Maye Form Breakdowns

When you queue up the tape from the last four weeks, the contrast in quarterback rhythm heading into Foxborough couldn't be sharper. Kirk Cousins has posted an 11-to-4 touchdown-to-interception ratio over his last four games for the Las Vegas Raiders, while Drake Maye has put up 854 passing yards alongside 136 rushing yards for the New England Patriots. With both squads coming off seven days of rest, the data reveals two offenses operating with vastly different tactical engines.

Kirk Cousins and the Las Vegas Air Attack

Looking at the underlying numbers, Kirk Cousins is distributing the ball with high efficiency. Through four starts, he has racked up 1,026 passing yards while completing 11 touchdown passes against four interceptions. What makes the Raiders' system click is how Cousins utilizes his tight end tandem. Brock Bowers has earned 24 targets across just two games, capitalizing on them for 16 receptions, 202 receiving yards, and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, Michael Mayer has provided steady intermediate production with 20 catches on 24 targets for 169 yards and a touchdown.

Out on the perimeter, Tre Tucker has emerged as a key downfield target, turning 23 targets into 15 catches for a team-high 233 receiving yards and a score. In the backfield, Ashton Jeanty leads the overall touch volume with 78 rushing attempts for 264 yards, while adding 19 catches for 165 yards and two receiving touchdowns on 24 targets. Backing him up, Mike Washington Jr. has provided reliable relief, converting 24 carries into 120 rushing yards and a touchdown.

Drake Maye and New England's Ground Balance

Across the field, Drake Maye has experienced a rockier four-game stretch through the air, throwing seven interceptions against four touchdowns. However, Maye's mobility remains a significant weapon in the Patriots' playbook; his 136 rushing yards on 23 attempts give New England a dual-threat dimension when initial reads break down.

To keep defenses honest, New England relies on a dual-back split. Rhamondre Stevenson leads the team with 44 rushing attempts for 163 yards and a touchdown, adding 12 receptions for 90 yards on 16 targets. Alongside him, TreVeyon Henderson has provided punch over three games, compiling 141 yards and a touchdown on 38 carries. Out wide, Mack Hollins and Romeo Doubs share identical team-high target counts at 20 apiece. Mack Hollins has reeled in 15 passes for 209 yards, while Romeo Doubs leads the team in receiving scores with two touchdowns on 12 catches for 203 yards. Tight end Hunter Henry rounds out the target tree, pulling in 12 of his 15 targets for 133 yards.

Recent Form Comparison

When examining the overall ten-game log in the data, note that the game history extends back into the 2025 regular season and early 2026 playoff run for New England — including their postseason victories over Houston and Denver in January 2026. Looking strictly at the four completed games of the current 2026 campaign, here is how the offensive headliners stack up:

Player	Position	Games	Pass Yds / TDs	Rush Yds / TDs	Rec Yds / TDs
Kirk Cousins	QB	4	1,026 / 11	-2 / 0	0 / 0
Drake Maye	QB	4	854 / 4	136 / 0	0 / 0
Ashton Jeanty	RB	4	0 / 0	264 / 0	165 / 2
Rhamondre Stevenson	RB	4	0 / 0	163 / 1	90 / 0
Brock Bowers	TE	2	0 / 0	0 / 0	202 / 2
Romeo Doubs	WR	4	0 / 0	0 / 0	203 / 2

Both teams carry clear tactical identities into Sunday. The Raiders lean heavily on Kirk Cousins to feed their tight ends and backfield pass-catchers, while New England relies on ground efficiency from Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson to support Drake Maye.
