How successful has Kirk Cousins been in his career? More successful than you might think. Because in his Raiders debut, the 15-year NFL veteran just reached a career milestone only 14 NFL quarterbacks have ever reached. And he tied a Hall of Famer to do it.
In the first half of the season opener against the Dolphins, Cousins threw two touchdowns, giving him 300 passing touchdowns for his career.
That number ties him with Hall of Fame QB John Elway for 14th in league history. Here is what the top 14 looks like as of right now.
- 1 Tom Brady 649
- 2 Drew Brees+ 571
- 3 Peyton Manning+ 539
- 4 Aaron Rodgers 527
- 5 Brett Favre+ 508
- 6 Philip Rivers 425
- 7 Matthew Stafford 423
- 8 Dan Marino+ 420
- 9 Ben Roethlisberger 418
- 10 Matt Ryan 381
- 11 Eli Manning 366
- 12 Russell Wilson 353
- 13 Fran Tarkenton+ 342
- 14 Kirk Cousins 300
- 14 John Elway+ 300
That's some elite company. And Cousins is far from done. He may not get any higher on the list this year, but he is sure to leave Elway in the dust in short order.
