According to NFL analyst Ryan Paganetti (a former Raiders; employee), In his history as a playcaller, Kubiak has called for a quarterback sneak on 22.5 of the plays from the opponent’s one-yard line. That is the eighth highest rate among 2026 playcallers. Here’s the full list:
So, maybe we will see quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and rookie Fernando Mendoza (when he takes over) plunging into the goal line at a reasonably high rate this season. At 6-5, 236 pounds, Mendoza could be a nice weapon in that area as he showed in the National Championship game.
