Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters has been named AFC Defensive Player of the Week, the NFL announced Wednesday.
Peters recorded two interceptions, three passes defensed and a forced fumble in the Chiefs’ 30-13 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday. He also had a key third-down stop in the second half and was tasked with breaking down the team in the locker room after the game, a sign coach Andy Reid and his teammates have put Peters’ one-game suspension for his behavior against the New York Jets on Dec. 3 in the past.
This marks the third time Peters, 24, has earned the honor in his career.
