Chiefs’ Marcus Peters, Daniel Sorensen fined for transgressions vs. Jets

Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters was fined $24,309 by the NFL for unsportsmanlike conduct, specifically a non-physical offense against a game official.

Peters tossed a penalty flag into the stands late in the fourth quarter of the Chiefs’ 38-31 loss to the New York Jets. Peters was frustrated because the referee whistled cornerback Steven Nelson for defensive holding, a call that negated a stop on a two-point conversion.

Peters proceeded to leave the field, even though he wasn’t ejected. The Chiefs considered that a team issue, and he was suspended for their upcoming game against the Oakland Raiders for that reason.

Also on Friday, safety Daniel Sorensen was fined $18,231 for a hit on quarterback Josh McCown.
