With the Rams up 26-13, Peters picked off Derek
Carr's late fourth-quarter pass at midfield and returned it for
a score -- turning and grabbing his crotch as he leaped backward
into the end zone.
The gesture was reminiscent of Marshawn Lynch's infamous Beast
Quake run against the New Orleans Saints in 2011 as a member of
the Seattle Seahawks. Lynch now plays for the Raiders.
It was the first pick-six for Peters, 25, since his rookie year
with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2015, when he had eight
interceptions and returned two for scores.
For his career, Peters has 56 passes defensed, 20 interceptions
and 154 tackles.
Peters and Lynch both grew up in Oakland and share an agent.
