What happened: Russell Wilson says this week will determine the quarterback decisions in Las Vegas for the rest of the season. The question is whether the Raiders keep pushing with Kirk Cousins or he is traded before the deadline. The Raiders play at San Francisco on Sunday, kickoff 4:25 PM ET.

Why it matters: Cousins has been linked to deadline interest from the Giants and Vikings. Las Vegas arrives off a 38-33 road win at the New York Jets on Nov. 1, so the team has results to weigh against any sell-off.

By the numbers: Cousins, 2026 through 8 games: 180 of 283 passing for 2,124 yards, 19 touchdowns, 5 interceptions.

What to watch: Watch Sunday's result in San Francisco and any Raiders move ahead of the trade deadline.
