KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Marcus Peters has duped just about every quarterback he has faced into throwing an interception to him, whether it was Peyton Manning a year ago or Derek Carr just last weekend.Hed love nothing more than to add Drew Brees to his growing list Sunday.The ball-hawking Peters will be tasked with leading an opportunistic Kansas City Chiefs defense against the prolific passing attack of Brees and the New Orleans Saints. Its an important game for both teams with Kansas City coming off a momentum-building win over Oakland and New Orleans having won two straight after a calamitous start to the season.Its the NFL. Every week youre coming in against the best, said Peters, who has a league-leading five picks this season. You have to prepare for every quarterback to throw for 400 yards.But heres the rub: Brees actually does throw for 400 yards.Twice this season, in fact.The 37-year-old Brees threw for 465 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Saints (2-3) to a 41-38 victory over Carolina last weekend. It was a performance that showcased the breadth and depth of the New Orleans offense, from high-flying wide receiver Brandin Cooks to tight end Coby Fleener.Brees found four different players for touchdown passes.I dont have enough good things to say about him. Hes a phenomenal player, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. He works at the profession, hes relentless. Is he getting better? Maybe he doesnt run as fast, but he sure has the skill throwing the football.He also doesnt make many mistakes, at least not this year. Hes only thrown four picks.That should cause all kinds of heartburn for the Chiefs (3-2), who lost defensive end Allen Bailey and linebacker Justin March for the season this week, and could be without cornerback Phillip Gaines, who is dealing with a knee injury after having surgery to repair his ACL last year.All of which puts even more pressure on Peters to make plays.When you see him, any errant throw or ball off-target, he gets his hands on. He has elite hands, Saints coach Sean Payton said. You have to be decisive and your location has to be spot on. He can run, he can tackle. I think hes one of the real, real talented good, young corners in our league.The matchup between Brees and Peters is only part of the intrigue on Sunday. Here are some of the other story lines:RARE RIVALSThe Saints and Chiefs have only played 10 times, and have not met in Kansas City since November 2008. But the two coaches are a bit more familiar with each since Reid spent so many years in the NFC with the Eagles.Hes been (producing) a playoff-type caliber team and organization (wherever hes been), said Payton, who is 3-1 against Reid, and I consider him a close friend.GROUND GAMESure, the Saints only ran for 63 yards against Carolina, and theyre averaging just 78 yards per game. But with such a dynamic pass attack, Payton is only looking for some consistency on the ground to keep defenses honest.I think each week you look at how they are playing, Payton said, and make your decision on how you want to win that game.WARE IT WELLThe Chiefs showed against Oakland that Spencer Ware will continue to be a big part of their offense even with Jamaal Charles back to speed. Ware ran for 131 yards and the Chiefs had 183 yards rushing, which took pressure off quarterback Alex Smith to lead the way.They all have different strengths, Smith said. Thats what you can get to, those guys feeding off each other.RISING ROOKIESaints wide receiver Michael Thomas, drafted in the second round out of Ohio State, doesnt figure to be as outspoken as his uncle, Keyshawn Johnson, in demanding the ball. He doesnt need to be, because Brees is already looking for him. Thomas leads with the Saints with 26 receptions, which ties with the Giants Sterling Shephard for the rookie lead. Thomas also has a TD catch in each of his last three games.Hes extremely confident and humble, Payton said, in a good way.TOUGH VENUEThere was a time in the 1990s and early 2000s when Arrowhead Stadium was arguably the toughest place to play in the NFL. After a few lean years, the holder of the Guinness world record for loudest outdoor stadium has its swagger back. The Chiefs have won eight straight there.Any time you can get into Arrowhead, it is tough for them to win. But in the end, we have to come out and compete, Chiefs center Mitch Morese said. We know what we have to do to win.---Online: AP NFL coverage: pro32.ap.org and (at)AP-NFL Nicolas Batum Hornets Jersey .

The nine-time Big 12 champion Jayhawks are positioning themselves for another title, as they have run out to a flawless 6-0 mark in conference play thus far. New Zealand women 223 for 5 (Satterthwaite 123, Sadia Yousuf 3-49) beat Pakistan women 220 (Zafar 50, Javeria Khan 50, Newton 5-31, Kerr 4-42)Scorecard and ball-by-ball details Amy Satterthwaite led New Zealand women - as captain, and with the bat - to a win in the last match of the ODI series against Pakistan in Nelson, helping them complete a 5-0 series sweep.Satterthwaite became the first woman to score three centuries in consecutive innings in ODIs. Opening in place of regular captain Suzie Bates, who sat out of the game, Satterthwaite struck 18 fours in her 99-ball 123 after Pakistan had won the toss and set New Zealand 221 to win. New Zealand chased it down in the 39th over.Earlier, medium-pacer Thamsyn Newton and 16-year-old legspinner Amelia Kerr both picked up career-best figures - Newton took 5 for 31, Kerr took 4 for 42 - to subdue Pakistan after they had got off to a strong start. Ayesha Zafar (50), Javeria Khan (50) and Nahida Khan (31), the top three in the order, were responsible for that. But Newton and Kerr struck regularly as Pakistan went from 157 for 2 to to being bowled out for 220 in the 50th over.New Zealands chase was powered by Satterthwaite, who scored most more than half the runs requirred, having begun by monopolising an opening partnership of 73 with Sam Curtis (9) that took only 9.dddddddddddd2 overs. She then put on 53 for the fourth wicket with Katie Perkins - the second-highest scorer, with her 23 - to bring New Zealand within 35 runs of the target before Sadia Yousuf (3-49) broke the stand. The left-arm spinner dismissed Satterthwaite shortly after, but New Zealand had no trouble chasing the target down.When asked about what the record means to her, Satterthwaite said she was happy, but New Zealands performance as a team had impressed her more, particularly in the absence of some stalwarts.Its always nice to achieve something like that, but at the end of the day, you just want to put your best performances to contribute to a team win, Satterthwaite said. It was great for our team to get a win without having Suzie (Bates) and Rachel (Priest). Theyre important players for us and to perform like that without them was great.This was both teams last ICC Womens Championship fixture, and the win sealed third spot for New Zealand. Pakistan finished in seventh place. ' ' '
