MORE Week 13 Suspension Blotter

This is a team suspension, and, hence, does not apply to the Club Remittance Policy or any numbers I list as to NFL suspensions for on the field conduct.  However, it is a suspension the NFL should have levied, so I will at least mention it.

• Kansas City Chiefs:  Marcus Peters, suspended one game by the team for ejection-level unsportsmanlike conduct.

Peters, enraged at an official's call in last week's game, took the flag and threw it into the stands.

That should've gotten him tossed from the game, a la Kansas City's Travis Kelce last year.

This is also not the first incident the team has had with Peters this year -- Peters was caught directing an expletive toward the fans at Arrowhead Stadium.

And this is no meaningless game he's gone for -- it's the rematch with Oakland!

It does, however, bring up an interesting point about all the league suspensions for on the field:

• Trevathan:  Bears vs. Packers
• Lynch:  The first game between the Raiders and Chiefs
• Sendejo:  Vikings vs. Ravens
• Evans:  Buccaneers vs. Chiefs
• Talib and Crabtree:  Raiders vs. Broncos
• Gronkowski:  Patriots vs. Bills
• Iloka and Simon-Schuster:  Bengals vs. Steelers

Eight of the nine suspensions have occurred in divisional contests.

And, with the league's scheduling the last several years, it's backloaded with divisional games to increase the tension!
