A dozen seasons into a storied career built on high-IQ play and forced turnovers, “The Honey Badger” remains a master in the art of attracting big-time opportunities through the air. One defensive stand away from both propelling New Orleans to a 2-0 start, and ending Dallas’ 16-game home winning streak, Tyrann Mathieu made a move from within his deep zone, undercutting the Cowboys’ star wideout for his season’s first interception. It marked back-to-back weeks for Mathieu with a turnover, following Week 1’s fumble recovery. In the 44-19 rout on Sept. 15, 2024, the Saints safety contributed three tackles, two passes defended, and a dagger-like interception.
