Mathieu registered four solo tackles, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in Sunday's 47-10 win over the Panthers.
Mathieu punched the ball out of Jonathan Mingo's hands in the second quarter of Sunday's game, and the former was able to recover the fumble, leading to a 52-yard field goal by Blake Grupe seven plays later. Mathieu registered all four of his tackles in the first half and finished the game playing just 25 defensive snaps, but that was due to game script and the Saints' large lead. The 2013 third-round pick will see a much tougher challenge against Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and the Cowboys in Week 2.
