The New Orleans Saints ended the first half of their Week 18 matchup against the Carolina Panthers with an interception by Tyrann Mathieu. The New Orleans native now has three interceptions on the season, to lead the team in turnovers (he also recovered a fumble).
Many were critical of his play during the first half of the season, but he has certainly picked up as of late. Mathieu has been a big key of the team turning it around during the last couple weeks of the season.
The interception came at a big point of the game, as the Panthers were just outside of the red zone at the end of the half. This interception and big return kept Carolina from being able to take advantage of great field position and score.
