|Updated:

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters was suspended by his team for one game against the Oakland Raiders for throwing a flag.

At the very end of the Chiefs game against the New York Jets on Sunday, Dec. 3, Peters---out of frustration---picked up a referee flag and tossed it into the stands. Coach Andy Reid announced Wednesday that Peters---who is perhaps known best for kneeling during the national anthem---would be suspended for his actions.
