Kirk Cousins and the Raiders' first-team offense were surprise starters in the team's final preseason game on Thursday night.
Cousins played two series against the 49ers' backups and led the Raiders to Matt Gay field goals of 37 and 53 yards on drives of 12 plays and 46 yards and 10 plays and 45 yards.
The quarterback went 8-of-11 for 51 yards. Tre Tucker caught three passes for 25 yards.
With Ashton Jeanty nursing an ankle injury, Mike Washington was the starting running back. He took advantage of his opportunity with eight carries for 49 yards.
Cousins left with 56 seconds remaining in the first quarter, but the team's other starters stayed on the field with Fernando Mendoza.
