The 2018 Kansas City Chiefs were one of the most ferocious offenses of the last decade after watching Patrick Mahomes start his first full season while tossing over 5,000-yards and 50 touchdowns. Mahomes wasn’t quite perfect, however, tossing 12 interceptions as well. One of those picks belonged to Peters. Hopefully, Peters is hungry for another one off his former teammate.
When the Chiefs come to Baltimore on Monday night, the Ravens will need Peters to be playing the best football of his life. Kansas City is absolutely loaded offensively to include speedsters Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, and Mecole Hardman. Peters will be tasked with rotating covering these three and one slip-up could be a game-changer. It’s imperative that Peters doesn’t blow his assignments against any of these three.
Peters has had a tendency in the past to be a gambler when it comes to turnovers. While he’s gotten much better about it with age, there are still times where he guesses and gets burned. Baltimore can’t afford for Peters to have a mental lapse in coverage, even if it’s an attempt on the ball. Instead, they’ll need him to keep to his assignment.
