Marcus Peters strengthened his case for Chiefs MVP without playing

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Even before Sunday’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a strong case could be made that cornerback Marcus Peters was the Kansas City Chiefs' most valuable player. Peters, with five interceptions and three fumble recoveries, was a leader in turnovers on a team that lived off them.

Then Peters missed the first game of his NFL career because of a hip pointer, and his case got even stronger because the Chiefs fell apart without him against the Buccaneers.

Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston threw for 331 yards.
