Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters clearly carried a big chip on his shoulder heading into this game. Going against the team that got rid of him and ultimately replaced him by trading for Jalen Ramsey in Week 7, Peters was bottled lightning all game long. But when the final whistle blew in Baltimore’s 45-6 route of Los Angeles, Peters and Ramsey had to be physically restrained from one another, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic.
Video from the pair meeting on the field shows both players barking at one another and Ramsey needing to be pushed back by staff members and coaches.

Peters had spent all game egging on his former teammates. He was trash-talking after every play, including when the Ravens’ offense was on the field. At one point, he was spotted jeering Ramsey from the sideline, calling for him and sticking out his tongue.

But Peters certainly backed up his talk on the field. Not only did Baltimore’s offense hold the Rams to just six points — their lowest total since Week 14 of last season — Peters snagged an interception of quarterback Jared Goff.
Peters is having an All-Pro season, notching five interceptions, including three returned for touchdowns over 11 games. He currently leads all cornerbacks in the NFL in Pro Bowl votes from fans and his new team is sitting at 9-2 and looking at one of the top seeds in the AFC playoff picture. Peters certainly seems to have a right to be bragging right now.
