A mix of both efficiency and staples of the Kubiak scheme, the Silver & Black’s head coach and offensive play caller provided a window into what he’s cooking up this season in Las Vegas’ 27-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals this past Thursday. The opening drive showcases the ever-efficient Kirk Cousins in the driver seat as the veteran quarterback and looking sharp pacing a 10-play, 68-yard touchdown drive. Behind an offensive line that kept him clean and comfortable, Cousins went 5-of-6 for 50 yards with his touchdown pass going to tight end Michael Mayer. It was a script featuring the heavy personnel packages — multiple tight ends — a (gasp!) fullback in Connor Heyward, pre-snap motions, and balanced air and ground attacks. It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, of course. And Kubiak — a rookie head coach — admitted as much in the post-game press conference. “I think the thing that stands out to me, analytically or not, is our penalties. We really hurt ourselves,” the Raiders head coach said. “We put ourselves in some negative situations, and that’s not winning football. Offensively, the fact that we didn’t turn the ball over is always good. That’s something that didn’t stand out last night, but offensively, you can’t go into a half a football and not score points. So, we didn’t help the defense there. We weren’t playing team football in that second half.”With the initial preseason tilt in the box and two more left on slate before Week 1 of the regular season, let’s dive into the candidates to lead the Raiders in scoring in 2026. Las Vegas finished dead last in the league in terms of points scored (241 total) and yards gained (4,168 total), so the bar is set quite low for Kubiak. There’s a high likelihood his offense won’t finish 32nd out of the 32 teams, though.
