The Las Vegas Raiders took their third straight loss to Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. But one Raiders player left quarterback Kirk Cousins in awe during the 33-30 loss. Even thinking about a former teammate of his in DeSean Jackson when looking at Tre Tucker.

The longtime quarterback veteran verbally illustrated the impact of having Tucker on his side.

“(Tre Tucker) can just roll. I played with DeSean Jackson, I’ve played with 4.2 guys. He’s faster than I realized he is, there’s time I need to launch and he’ll go get it,” Cousins told reporters after the game.

Tucker came close to delivering a 100-yard outing against one of the AFC's top contenders. He ended his afternoon grabbing five passes for 97 yards and scoring twice. Tucker split double coverage too against Buffalo before completing this diving touchdown grab.

The Raiders grabbed an early 7-3 lead by turning to running back Ashton Jeanty. That became their only touchdown of the first half. But Cousins turned to his newest speedy weapon to ignite the offensive spark in the second half.

Tucker's 11-yard grabbed arrived at the 8:07 mark of the fourth quarter. Then his 44-yarder sliced the lead to 33-30 with 1:32 left.

Vegas applied enough pressure on the Bills. Now Cousins knows he's got a new speed option he can unleash.
