Tyrann Mathieu Has Great Explanation for Perfect Defensive Play During AFC Championship

Fool the Honey Badger once, shame on you. Fool him twice? Well, you wont.

Tyrann Mathieu made sure the world knew about his incredible defensive read in the AFC Championship by quote tweeting a highlight of a play that deceived him in the not-so-distant past.

Same play patriots ran on us. They almost scored. Knew it would show up again. https://t.co/9blgsDOBUy

The Honey Badger did his homework coming into this tense matchup against the Tennessee Titans, immediately recognizing a play out of the Patriots playbook that he figured he would see again, being that Mike Vrabel has so many ties to Bill Belichick and the Pats.

Mathieu's response came after the Kansas City Chiefs booked their Super Bowl spot in Miami, something that this historic franchise hadn't achieved in 50 years. Mathieu was a vital part of the Chiefs secondary all season, and ended the night with some powerful tackles.

Real talk. @Mathieu_Era is the reason #7 matters at LSU. The dude is special, an alien of a different type. He sees football in different colors, hues, & dimension. He is a true artist & we should all sit back and admire the great football portfolio he is putting together.

The former LSU cornerback was brought into Kansas City two years ago to shore up their bad defense, and has become a leader on the field with his energy and intelligence, helping the Chiefs to end the season just shy of a top 10 defense in the league.

The Honey Badger will be looking to put on a show in his first Super Bowl appearance, hopefully capping off his year with the title that the Patriots stopped KC from having last season.
