Texans vs. Chiefs: 6 Bold Predictions

6. Marcus Peters pick-six

Mark these words: Peters will solidify his case for Defensive Rookie of the Year by making a major impact in this game. Playing against elite wideout Hopkins, Peters will step in front of an ill-advised Brian Hoyer throw and take it all the way back for a score.

The pick-six is something that we know Peters is capable of. In his rookie campaign, No. 22 took two of his league-leading (tied with Reggie Nelson) eight interceptions back for touchdowns.

Top 10 Quarterbacks in Patriots’ history

As noted by our friends over at Arrowhead Addict, Peters was targeted more than any other cornerback in the history of the statistic (targets started being measured in 2009). Peters made quarterbacks pay for focusing on him, batting away 26 pass, the most out of all defensive players.

Peters will further display his stardom on Wild Card weekend by giving his team a defensive touchdown.
