QB Report Cards for 2026 NFL Week 4

The Las Vegas Raiders may have come up short this past weekend, but Kirk Cousins has been everything the team hoped he could be until Fernando Mendoza eventually takes the reins. Conversely, the New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears aren't allowing the quarterback position to be a hindrance toward a successful start.
