NFL schemes are based on everyone working in concert to serve the whole. Even guys like Favre, Roethlesberger, and Mahomes - guys who can make magic happen by improvisation - are coached to reign it in and play within the system.
Saying that Peters "stepped it up when it mattered" is disingenuous, because it presupposes that regular plays do not matter. If you "step up" on 2nd and four in the start of the third quarter, you might not need to step up on 3rd and short with 2 minutes left in the game.
All the plays matter to coaches.

He can tackle but chose not to. That’s the bigger issue. But that really isn’t that important if you listen to people. Didn’t matter for Deion Sanders. Corners are paid for their coverage.
