Marcus Peters fined for illegal tackle on Packers WR Christian Watson

The NFL fined Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Marcus Peters for his touchdown-saving horse collar tackle on Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson during last week’s 17-13 Raiders win on Monday Night Football.

Peters, who was penalized on the play, received a $13,378 fine for unnecessary roughness.

The play occurred at the 7:15 mark of the third quarter. Watson was racing for a score but Peters pulled him down by the collar of his uniform, preventing what would have been an 83-yard touchdown and setting up the Packers inside the 10-yard line.
