Securing takeaways against Hall of Fame, Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks are often “bucket list”-like milestones for defensive backs seeking to be remembered as all-time greats. Needing all of three weeks to begin putting the pen to notepad on his own, Tyrann Mathieu made himself heroic for the Cardinals, preventing the momentum-building Saints from scoring by turning a downfield shot into an acrobatic interception. New Orleans would eventually live up billing, dealing Arizona a 31-7 loss on Sept. 22, 2013; Mathieu, though, shined against one of the NFL’s premier offenses, accumulating 10 tackles (nine solo) and one pick.
