The New Orleans Saints lost a key player midway through the fourth quarter during Sunday’s divisional rivalry game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when safety Tyrann Mathieu went down with a concussion.
It came at a particularly bad time when the Saints were trailing by just a point, after holding the momentum for the majority of the game, too.
Mathieu totaled two tackles, one of which was solo, when went down. The Saints will look to rely on Jordan Howden, who came down with a critical interception earlier in the game, to fill the large void of the Honey Badger for the rest of the way.
Mathieu entered the game with 60 combined tackles (46 solo), two forced fumbles and three interceptions this season.
