WATCH: Tyrann Mathieu secures game-changing interception vs. Falcons
Tyrann Mathieu was a pure difference-maker in Sunday's 20-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
The former LSU Tiger made one of the most pivotal plays of the game with an interception off of quarterback Kirk Cousins in the final two minutes of the game, which could be looked at as what changed the outcome of the game.
The Falcons made a late run at a comeback in the final seconds of the game, but were not able to pull it off with poor time management as they crossed midfield.
He finished out the game with three solo tackles to accompany the interception.
The Saints snapped a seven-game losing streak with the victory and will look to continue finishing out a lost season on a high note as they prepare to face the Cleveland Browns on Nov. 17.
