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.

The hit was so direct and forceful that Peters was evaluated for a concussion.
Rams say Marcus Peters is being evaluated for a concussion. That's a Donovan Smith hit.
