Marcus Peters evaluated for concussion after huge hit from Donovan Smith on pick-six
Marcus Peters’ big pick-six for the Los Angeles Rams against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday came with a cost.
The Bucs were leading 45-34 with about eight minutes left when Jameis Winston was intercepted by Peters, who returned the ball 32 yards for a touchdown. Just as he got to the goal line, Peters was crushed by Bucs lineman Donovan Smith.
