Last week former LSU Tiger Tyrann Mathieu was held out of the game despite being activated in the season opener. On Sunday Night Football when facing off with the Baltimore Ravens, the Kansas City Chiefs had him in the starting lineup. He paid big dividends for the defense right off the bat.
On the opening drive of the game, the Honey Badger struck. He picked off Jackson and returned it for the opening score of the game. Mathieu would return it 34-yards and the Chiefs would take the 7-0 lead. Check out the interception where Jackson threw it right to him.

With the Ravens driving late in the first quarter, Jackson once again looked to convert a third and 14. Looking to hit Marquise Brown, the Honey Badger struck again with the takeaway. This kept Baltimore from tying the game at that point.
Oh My 32
