Las Vegas Raiders coach Klint Kubiak and quarterback Kirk Cousins are scheduled to meet with reporters Wednesday at the Intermountain Health Performance Center to discuss Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Buffalo Bills at Allegiant Stadium.
The media session comes after the Raiders suffered a 45-17 road loss to the New England Patriots in Week 5. Kubiak presented his review of the defeat at the team facility, again accepting responsibility for the team's performance.
The lopsided loss raised questions about where the Raiders stand in 2026 after being dismantled by the defending AFC champions. Few players raised their stock in the defeat, though rookie running back Dylan Laube scored his first career touchdown in front of family and friends from his college days at New Hampshire.
Rookie Fernando Mendoza made his NFL debut in the blowout, gaining live reps that could help in more competitive games. Running back Ashton Jeanty, listed as questionable with a foot pain flareup, managed 27 rushing yards on 10 carries.
Separately, a recruiting firm's report on Brian Flores prepared for the Raiders has drawn attention for containing what Flores' lawyers say are examples of racial stereotypes NFL teams use when evaluating Black coaching candidates.
