Kirk Cousins could become the first quarterback in NFL history to play 18 regular-season games in a single campaign, according to reports emerging on November 10, 2026.
The possibility arises as the league continues to evaluate schedule expansions beyond the current 17-game format. If realized, Cousins would set a new milestone for the position.
No official announcement has been made regarding a league-wide move to an 18-game regular season, but the scenario highlights the evolving landscape of professional football.
