While I have been critical of Peters and his tackling, on the final series, I saw a DB blitz and take down the runner behind the line of scrimmage. Yeah, it's cherry picking and there are times where he goes for the ball and gives up yards. At least he is trying to make a play instead of standing around watching someone else do it. I can still see the batted pass where a Chief was standing by Mariota when he threw the ball; he pushed Mariota and turned his back on the play. Pay attention until the whistle blows and maybe he could have prevented the TD. The biggest problem with the defense, IMO, is that they play like a bunch of individuals; never trusting the player next to them and are constantly out of position.
Great Final 10 things, George.
