This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
During the 2026 offseason, veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins signed a fully guaranteed contract with the Las Vegas Raiders. He joined the team to serve as a reliable bridge quarterback for the offense. Head coach Klint Kubiak wanted an experienced leader while the franchise develops its top draft pick.
Cousins, despite how he looked in camp, earned the starting job and immediately led them to a decisive opening week victory. Off the football field, he is widely recognized as an incredibly grounded and family-oriented individual.
There are times when he can make the eyebrows on your face go up with the things he likes to reveal about himself. Such was the case when speaking about In-N-Out.
Kirk Cousins Knew In-N-Out Would Be a Problem in Las Vegas
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins has developed a massive fondness for West Coast fast food since moving to Nevada. The veteran signal-caller spoke to reporters during a press conference about his new dietary habits.
He jokingly confessed that visiting the popular burger chain has turned into a regular habit. Cousins playfully admitted to the media, “I can put down a lot of In-N-Out burgers.” He laughed about the situation and openly referred to his frequent visits as a “problem.”
The four-time Pro Bowl athlete explained that the meals serve as his ideal post-game reward. He directly stated, “That is a great cheat meal.” Kirk Cousins further emphasized his love for the food while celebrating the team’s success on the field. He concluded by saying, “Coming home from a win on Sunday night, I don’t know if I can think of a better spot than that.”
“In-N-Out’s tough to beat. I mean, I have an In-N-Out problem,” Cousins said Wednesday when asked about his postgame ritual.
“When I signed with the Raiders, I knew this is gonna be an issue. That is a great cheap meal, and coming home from a win on a Sunday night, I don’t know if I can’t think of a better spot than that. . . It’s hard for me to fully articulate why I like it so much, but, yeah, I’m a sucker for it.”
Cousins Leads The Raiders To a Blowout Victory
Kirk Cousins successfully led the Las Vegas Raiders to a thrilling season-opening victory over the Dolphins on Sunday. He completed 21 of 30 passes for 160 yards during the game at Allegiant Stadium. The veteran quarterback threw three touchdown passes to secure the comfortable win for his new team.
Two of those scoring throws targeted dynamic running back Ashton Jeanty inside the red zone. The other score went to receiver Jack Bech on a sharp fifteen-yard play in the first quarter.
Additionally, he put himself into the historic 300-touchdown club in NFL history. He became just the 15th quarterback to ever achieve this massive milestone.
