Tre Tucker continued to step up as a top wideout on the team, totaling five catches for 97 yards and two touchdowns.
His second touchdown of the game was a 44-yard deep shot from Kirk Cousins to bring the game within three points late in the fourth quarter. It was Tucker’s second game with at least 90 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
“[H]e just can roll,” Cousins said of Tucker. “I played with DeSean Jackson, I play with Aldrick Robinson, so I played with 4.2 guys; he can roll. And I came off the field, I said, ‘I think he’s faster than I realize he is.’ And there’s times where I just need to launch, and he’ll go get it. So, he showed me that again today.”
Tucker has been synonymous with his speed since the Raiders drafted him in 2023. Having ran a 4.37 40-yard dash at his Cincinnati Pro Day, he’s been clocked running at least 18 miles per hour on 18 of his routes this year, per NFL Next Gen Stats.
“When I look at me, I’m not 6-foot-4, so I feel like my asset, my God-given talent is speed,” Tucker said postgame. “I have to be able to do those type of things, and obviously, Kirk trusts me. So, when the ball’s in the air, it’s mine or nobody’s. That’s kind of my mentality, and he put one up right there, and I just was able to make a play.”
