Most players will admit that they’ve circled a date on the calendar if there’s a chance to play against a former team or to play in front of a hometown audience. For Marcus Peters, the chance to play the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11 is “just another football game.”
Last offseason, the Chiefs surprised everyone, Peters included, by trading away the mercurial cornerback with a Hall of Fame trajectory. The NFL world was shocked at a number of elements in the trade—from the lack of reported suitors to the little draft return to the fact that a team would trade away a young, cost-controlled corner to the addition of yet another great player on paper for the Rams.
