Josh McDaniels praises Marcus Peters for horse-collar penalty vs. Packers: 'That’s a really smart play'

The Las Vegas Raiders probably wouldn't have beat the Green Bay Packers on "Sunday Night Football" without Marcus Peters.

After the victory, Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels credited the All-Pro cornerback for intentionally breaking the rules in the right moment.

With the game tied 10-10 in the third quarter, Peters opted to commit a horse-collar penalty to prevent Packers wideout Christian Watson from scoring a touchdown.

Peters drew the flag when blown coverage from the Raiders defense left Watson wide open for a long touchdown. Before the Green Bay receiver could get to the end zone, Peters grabbed the collar of his jersey from behind.
